Representative Scott DesJarlais Is A Spherical Twit – A Twit No Matter Which Way You Look At Him
Okay, so the Godly pro-life Republican asks his pregnant mistress to have an abortion. So he’s scum. Slime. A twit.
That’s one thing.
But, he’s also for sale.
I had lunch over at the Dairy Queen with Alfredo today. You know what that means: NUMBERS!
Now hang with me here because after you wade through the numbers, there’s ice cream at the end.
U.S. Representative Scott DesJarlais (TN-04) introduced yesterday H.R. 3848 the “Protecting Foods and Beverages from Government Attack Act of 2012.” This legislation would prohibit the use of federal money for advertising campaigns against any food or beverage deemed safe and lawfully marketed under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Rep. DesJarlais released the following statement after the introduction of this important and timely legislation:
“Our top priority should be restarting the economy and creating jobs – not funding scare campaigns against perfectly safe and legal products. At a time when our nation faces high unemployment, it makes absolutely no sense that federal and city agencies would aggressively advertise against American products made by American workers.
“As a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, one of my chief responsibilities is to track how funds from President Obama’s Stimulus Package were spent. I was alarmed to find that $230 million in grant money was used, in many cases, to run advertisements attacking America’s soft drink companies.
So, DesJarlais, a physician, is totally freaked out that anybody would say that soft drinks aren’t exactly healthy.
You would wonder why a physician would approve of soft drinks, especially for children.
Stop wondering. Here’s the ice cream —
If you don’t trust my clipping abilities, you can check out the ice cream here, here, and here.
Now we know who is paying for all those abortions.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen where every day is No-Twits-Allowed Day.
“You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
This is some seriously great ice cream! I hope this story puts the cherry on top of his political career – it would be just deserts if that was the case.
1With all that sugary goodness, do you think he will try the Twinkie defense?
2Is that really a Playboy bunny logo on his sign and is the sig fer real?
3Another sign of the recession. You can buy a Congressman for a mere $13K in campaign contributions. My guess is there are some off-the-books direct payments.

5Is that a Playboy bunny I see before me? Why?
Wouldn’t that be copyright infringement unless ol’ Hef licensed it out? And since I don’t this ol’ Hef would sell out for $13K I want to know what’s going on.
Bev, put on your glasses. That’s a damn cartoon from the Chattanooga Times Free Press by Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist Clay Bennett. It’s a joke about the Playboy / philandering / doctor / congresscritter.
6I hope DQ pays time and a half for overtime, ’cause Alfredo has put in some long hours lately!
7Ooops. Thanks, JJ
8One doesn’t buy politicians, you rent them – after all payments are regularly required – that’s why the number is so low.
9Nashville local news channel got a comment from ScottyBagger a day or so ago, Bagger said it was re-hash from last election. It was not “news” until HuffPo got it.
10Another thought about soda pop: I have always believed that it was a cola purveyor who got Nixon to go to China, where a billion potential customers were just waiting to be had. Now look who’s got control of our economy.
11Is that the Playboy bunny on his sign?
