- Representative Mike Pence, sponsor of the “2011 Abortion Provider Prohibition Act,” a bill that would zero out all funding for Title X health clinics (clinics that provide low- or no-cost family planning services and are found in mostly poor urban neighborhoods, or rural areas that have limited access to health care services) said on the hated NPR that he “never intended to touch women’s health services,” he just wanted to defund Planned Parenthood (PP, an abortion provider, received approximately $342 million from Title X between 2002 and 2008, but per the Hyde Amendment, none of that money paid for abortions). Hel-lo, Mr. Pence: that’s what defund means: to take the money away. Didn’t they teach you that in Congressman School?
- Representative Michelle Bachmann (not to be confused with the Minnesota Common Loon) “is likely to form” a presidential exploratory committee (per her handlers) and has been touring early primary states. This will be fun, boys and girls – Bachmann, well-known as a “Birther,” says whatever she thinks and doesn’t care if it makes sense or not – just the traits I know I want in a President.
- But oh, it gets better! Sharron Angle, who lost by five points to Harry Reid in a anti-Democratic wave last fall is writing a book…self-published, of course… and running for office again! And she says she’s the frontrunner! Bless her heart! And her new haircut!
