Today's Dispatches From The Stupid Party


They'll never run out of The Stupid.

New Mexico Rethuglican State Rep. Cathrynn Brown has a neat idea:
"If you’re looking for evidence that the differences between men and women are greatly exaggerated, the fact that women are equally capable as men of mind-blowing misogyny should erase all doubt. New Mexico state Rep. Cathrynn Brown proved that this week by introducing a bill aimed at throwing rape victims in jail if they refuse to honor their rapist’s right to control their body by carrying his child." (our emphasis)
Pennsyltucky Pennsylvania:
"... Rep. Lou Barletta (R-PA) was outraged that lawmakers reacted to the mass murder of school children by an armed gunman by trying to prevent similarly disturbed individuals from obtaining guns. The Congressman claimed that limiting firearms will have as much impact on reducing gun violence as banning spoons will on preventing obesity..."
At least, that's what the NRA told him to say.
