This just in: Louisiana Republican Rep. John C. Fleming, M.D. is tossing his hat in the ring for Dumbest Member of Congress.Let's see what the gullible pro-lifer representative believes.
Dino Grandoni at The Atlantic reports that "pro-life" Rep. Fleming M.D. posted a story from The Onion on his Facebook page, offering it as proof that Planned Parenthood offers "abortion by the wholesale."
The satirical story from May 2011
Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday the grand opening of its long-planned $8 billion Abortionplex, a sprawling abortion facility that will allow the organization to terminate unborn lives with an efficiency never before thought possible. [...]Where on earth did the congressman get this information?
Why from The Onion!
Thanks to Paul (A.) for the link, which he sent with the following message:
Louisiana is, however, responsible for this one.Ah yes. Though we are not responsible for state Sen. Shadrack McGill of DeKalb County, Alabama, Rep. Fleming is from Minden, Louisiana, so he is, indeed, our responsibility, and we must claim him, even as we blush for him.
Cheers,
Paul (A.)
UPDATE: Thanks to AB for sending in the video with the story from Newsy.com.
The state of Alabama breathes a sigh of relief. Or at least those of us with brains do.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable considering the modest buildings that usually house the Planned Parenthood clinics.
ReplyDeleteJust one observation. . . he is older than his hair color.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm shallow, but not stupid.
A satiric joke about the Right may take in both Left & Right [See Christwire].
ReplyDeleteA satiric joke about the Left ("Abortionplex") takes in only the Right.
