Juanita has a new hero.  It is Florida Democratic State Senator Scott Randolph.

“They were having a debate in Florida about deducting union dues from a worker’s paycheck.  Republicans, of course, do not want to do that because it might make a tiny dent in the political spending they get from all that corporate campaign money that is given to Republicans instead of taxpayers,” Juanita explains.

“So,” she continues, “the Republicans somehow turned all this into a debate about government regulation.  Hell,

Juanita has a crush on Scott Randolph

Honey, they could turn a baptism at the river into somedamnthing about getting government out of our lives.”

“But,” she grins, “they hadn’t met Senator Scott Randolph.  He took the floor.”

At one point Randolph suggested that his wife [should] “incorporate her uterus” to stop Republicans from pushing measures that would restrict abortions. Republicans, after all, wouldn’t want to further regulate a Florida business.

“Now that’s a dandy idea.  I think the women of Texas should incorporate their uterus, name it, and let it make campaign donations and avoid taxes,” Juanita suggests.

But we are not to the good part yet.

This idea infuriated Republicans.  Not the part about incorporation.  They were upset about the u-t-e-r-u-s part.

Apparently the GOP leadership of the House didn’t like the one-liner.

They told Democrats that Randolph is not to discuss body parts on the House floor.

“The point was that Republicans are always talking about deregulation and big government,” Randolph said Thursday. “And I always say their philosophy is small government for the big guy and big government for the little guy. And so, if my wife’s uterus was incorporated or my friend’s bedroom was incorporated, maybe they (Republicans) would be talking about deregulating.

“It’s not like I used slang,” said Randolph, who actually got the line from his wife. He said Republicans voiced concern about young pages hearing the word uterus.

“I think it’s a sad commentary about what we think about sex education in the state,” he said.

“That,” announces Juanita,  “settles it.  I am writing a press release that says my uterus is named Big Thelma’s Honky Tonk, Inc., and my lungs have been incorporated under the name of Sequined Betty and the Bitchin’ Backhoes, and you do not even want to know what I’ve named my breasts, but they will not be paying taxes next year and that’s a promise.”

“Wouldn’t you be interested in knowing where Republicans think they came from?  I know I would,” she smiles.
