So He Put The Cash In A Bag And Then Set Fire To It
I want y’all to meet another member of the Texas congressional brain trust.
Michael Burgess, a gynecologist from the Dallas area, took Dick Armey’s seat in congress when Armey retired. Now, you’d think that a gynecologist would have basic biology knowledge and might like women but Burgess is down 2 points on the Sane Person scale.
You probably remember Burgess from his statement that fetuses felt “pain and pleasure” and he knows that for a damn fact because he’s seen male fetuses put their hand between their legs. Hell, even my newborns would poke themselves in the eye while trying to put their hands anydamnwhere.
But speaking of putting his hand between his legs, Burgess loves, loves, loves Donald Trump. He loves Trump so much that he’s literally throwing money at him.
Only problem is that some of that money is illegal contributions. According to experts in this area, a politician can only give $4,000 from his campaign account to another politician. Burgess is so excited about Donald Trump that he shoved his hand between his legs and pulled out $2,000 over the legal limit.
And then what makes this really weird is that I thought Trump was funding his own campaign. Hmm …
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
Hmmm. Down the road a bit I bet Hollywood makes a movie out of him. And Richard Gere will refuse to play the lead.
1Trump funding his own campaign? Ha! From the start his website had a prominent ‘Donate’ button.
OT: The Olympics are over. Now what will distract me from The Donnie? 75+ more days of thus crap. God help me.
2The rich white guy syndrome infects the medical profession almost as much as zika goes for pregnant women. Cases in point: Ben Carson, Dr. Drew.
3JAKvirginia, how about old movies? Or binge-watching old TV? I don’t know what’s good now, if anything, but M*A*S*H and Carol Burnett and such will always be good for a distraction.
Someone who thinks fetuses play with themselves. Someone who wants to give lots of money to Donald Trump. Why am I not surprised that those two overlap….
4I’m shocked! Republican politicians can feel pleasure and pain? I never would have believed it but Michael Burgess seems to have felt some form of pleasure when he gave Donald Trump a campaign contribution, and some form of pain when he got caught going over the limit.
Who knew?
5Why does the Republican Party have such an assortment of truly mean, uncaring and downright nasty doctors? On the plus side those sons of Slime Devils aren’t practicing.
6Visiting with a friend is one thing. Making a professional statement to a zillion people oughta make folks more cautious.
7@ JAKvirginia#2- If you believe in the Big Invisible Sky Boohoo, there is no help/hope for you.
8montag, the quick, easy, and stereotyped answer is that Dems become doctors so they can help people, and GOPs do it so they can rake in the cash. I’m sure there are lots of exceptions on both sides, but that could be where the GOP docs who are jackwagons come from. Oh, and wanting to control women’s sex lives, of course.
9“And then what makes this really weird is that I thought Trump was funding his own campaign.”
ah, c’mon guys, you know he was just being “sarcastic” right?
10Personally, I think that doctors are the closest thing to scientists that repugnantcans can come up with. I mean they are scientists in the field of medicine. But think about it. All of their (repugnantcans) most basic beliefs have been proven again and again to be wrong. Small (no) government. Privatization of public services. Climate change (nowadays a lot of them say it’s real, but naturally occurring). Trickle down economics. The longer these things fail to be true, the further they have to grasp for legitimizing them But it doesn’t stop them from preaching them. So, the only thing they’ve got to oppose reason is emotion. Fear. Hate. But they still need someone trusted to relate to. Doctors to the rescue. (crazy ones).
11l’angelomisterioso: Thanks for being nasty. If you don’t believe… fine. That does not give you the right to trash others. My beliefs are different than many and I don’t follow any established religion so I don’t carry alot of that baggage. Well… I could go on, but I’ll just say watch your mouth because I can and have given it as good as I’ve gotten it and I have no more f**ks to give.
12I had an epiphany. Maybe this guy put his hands over his ears and went LALALALALA when they were talking about lady parts. I bet that’s what happened. I don’t know what he did when they had their final exams in the class. You know. LADY PARTS I and II.
13I think good, competent, caring doctors remain doctors. If the other kind are too ugly or nutball to do snake oil vitamin supplement infomercials, they go into politics.
14I think there is a test for docs who want to make noise for snacilbupeR creeps. If the doc’s fail the test – they’re in. If they pass, they become Democrats.
15Well then, if you don’t want this guy, I’m running against him this November. I’d like to have your vote. I don’t do shenanigans with campaign finance money, and I don’t like Trump!
16Mark Boler, interesting. Read your page and quite frankly, sir, you are part of the problem and none of the solution. Dude, when you are too far right of sane for either the Republicons or the Liebertarians, you’d qualify as a loser in Louie Gohmert’s district.
17Mr Boler, having read your page, I consider you unqualified for public office. I suggest you divest yourself of every benefit the big government you hate has provided you, including citizenship in the United States, and go hoe your own corn somewhere else.
