Rick Perry Calls For Special Session To Address Abortion Bill - for July 1st

[Lucinda]

"I am calling the Legislature back into session because too much important work remains undone for the people of Texas," Perry said in a statement. "Through their duly elected representatives, the citizens of our state have made crystal clear their priorities for our great state. Texans value life and want to protect women and the unborn. Texans want a transportation system that keeps them moving. Texans want a court system that is fair and just. We will not allow the breakdown of decorum and decency to prevent us from doing what the people of this state hired us to do."

The special session will start Monday, July 1.

1. Important work?

They only meet every other year. Hawai'i's Legislature meets every year. Hawai'i would barely be a decent-sized county in Texas.

5. They have a few days to regroup before Monday

Hopefully more Texan women will show the governor what "important work" really looks like. Though I've read that the Dems expect it will eventually squeak through and then be challenged in the courts.

2. What he really said...

Texans value life and want to protect women and the unborn. Texans want a transportation system that keeps them moving. Texans want...uh...hmmm...and the... what's the third one there? Let's see."

8. :)

I needed that laugh!

3. Douchebag. n/t

[Lucinda]

6. Naw...those can be useful

He's just an ass.

[zappaman]

9. I beg your pardon...

but those can be useful too!

How about he is as useful as a screen door on a submarine?

[Lucinda]

11. You are quite correct! I overlooked that. However, I feel that

both of our initial offerings have a much more satisfying invective quality than the screen door on a submarine example does though...
I was putting an awful lot of contemptuous spin on that "ass" response
Maybe someone will come up with a better one!

4. Frankenbrain is an asshole and he will lose the women's vote.

[Lucinda]

12. I certainly hope so.

And the "rape kit as abortion" lady can go too.

[MichiganVote]

17. We just have to get louder and meaner. A lot meaner.

18. Damn straight. And for those with qualms about it, remember this:

These bastards will do it to you in a New York Minute. The days of the Marquis of Queensbury are long past.

7. Motherfucker

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Fight back. Stop the hairman and his henchmen. OCCUPY THAT SHIT!

[boston bean]

13. Protect women??

Fuck that creep!

[Lucinda]

15. Yup. That's how he's trying to sell it.

Requiring clinics to achieve hospital level surgical standards (which are unnecessary, and would essentially close down the majority of the clinics) is to protect the women!

14. Fuck you asshole, go live in a dumpster.

Perry is the worst creature to rule over Texas since George Warmonger Bush.

16. Hey Rick! Here's a line I stole from Mad Men:

"I'd tell you to go to hell but I don't want to see you again."

[Lucinda]

19. lol

I hadn't heard that before!
