Democrat chastised for saying 'uterus' on House floor - a song ensues

[csziggy]

Republicans, after all, wouldn't want to further regulate a Florida business.

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.

As a response, the Raging Grannies wrote a song about it:

The Uterus Song
(Tune: “Bye-Bye Blackbird”)
Lyrics © by Vicki Ryder

If you’re a Republican, it’s okay to screw everyone,
Just don’t say “uterus!”
You can send our kids to war while watching your investments soar,
But don’t say “uterus!”
Taking bribes used to be thought just awful;
Now fat cats pay for your campaigns, that’s lawful…
You can take our rights away and torture folks, that’s still okay.
Just don’t say… that word.

Chorus:
Uterus and uterus,and uterus and uterus, uterus, uterus!
Uterus and uterus,and uterus and uterus, uterus, uterus!
Uterus and uterus…..

Somebody with some musical ability needs to record this song!

I find it a lot more than ironic that a party that wants to force big government into the uterus of every American woman is too shy to actually SAY the DAMN word.

Every woman in Florida should call a Republican elected official and sing The Uterus Song, then hang up.

To paraphrase Arlo Gutherie:

You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both {edited word now considered offensive} and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of {The Uterus Song} and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of {The Uterus Song} and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

1. wow ... that's about as "big government" as you can get ...

and that's the correct term for the body part ... the medical definition ...

Of course, the Republicans would make a federal (and "liberally-biased media") case out of the fact that some Democrat would merely mention that it was not very nice of a Repuke to call someone a nig*er ... "freedom of speech" and all that, you know ...

2. What did Repubs call it when they tried to mandate forced ultra sounds

Prior to legal abortions? Did they dance around and claim to be bashful then? Of course, not. Not when they are trying to impose their religiously inspired big government on women.

3. did any Repugs cry foul when Bush had illegal wiretapping of U.S. citizens?

No ... they cried foul when it was reported to THE PEOPLE ... big government getting into their faces ...

they only cried out about the porno scanners at the airports when it was Obama doing it ...
