In a very important announcement made because people have come to believe that Michigan lawmakers get all squicked out when ladies start throwing their vaginas all over the damn place, Republican spokesdouche Ari Adler cleared the air like so much Summer’s Eve:
Michigan House Republicans didn’t bar Rep. Lisa Brown (D) from speaking this week because she used the word “vagina” in a floor speech. They blocked her because they thought she made a rape reference, said Ari Adler, press secretary for Michigan House Speaker Jase Bolger (R).
“It has nothing to do with her using the word ‘vagina,’” Adler told TPM Friday. “The Speaker Protempore at the time was John Walsh. It was judgment at the time that when she finished her statement by referencing her vagina, and then saying ‘no means no,’ that was drawing in a rape reference, and he felt that crossed the line.”
What kind of vagina would tell men that they can’t rape? This is the kind of Big Government If-You-Won’t-Have-Sex-With Me-You’re-Probably-A-Lesbian Nanny State that you can expect out of the lieberal pussified Demoncrats.
This is America, lady. You know … FREEDOM

That Elastic Girl is such a tease, leading Mento on like that. For shame.
Now that’s some high-quality press-secretarying right there.
it’s skeery there’s enough low info fact-challenged voters out there to elect these asshats in a majority … anywhere .. eh ??
Because, wait, what?
There is nothing to compare these fucking people with [laughing]. And there’s a whole State Legislature full of ‘em? Did Michigan move to Florida?
I’ll rephrase:
Please, Michigan, move to Florida. You’ll be glad you did.
…And that has the fuck all to do with preventing her from speaking the next day, mendacious Shit-stain?
Anybody but me feel that the above-illustrated lady is notably more impressive than the superheroines referenced by that conservo-Photoshopper yesterday?
Or do I only say that because I’m not a dude, as well as being rich in years?
Hey, leave us alone. We’ve got a house full of batshit crazy down here already and don’t need any Michigan
amateursposers on top of it all.So you can’t
sayallude to rape in Michigan?So, I guess blowjob is out of the question.
Ari Adler has the title “Press Secretary,” and he had over 12 hours to come up with his
coverbullshithypespinlie“story” about why Walsh clutched his pearls on the fainting couch when Brown spoke the dreaded VaJayJay word, and THIS is the “best” he could manufacture in his pea-brain?Geez. Sadly such nonsensical crapulousness is no longer gobsmackingly mind-boggling.
Republitwits just phoning it in once again… because they can get away with it. Just saying…
Chuy.
Can I request, please, that people from Michigan searching for places to be free, NOT STOP IN ARIZONA???? TryKansas. It seems that would suit you nicely. Or Utah. You’d like Utah. But please. I really don’t want have to deal with panhandlers from Michigan at the entrance to my local grocery store.
Come up with a bullshit lie instead of manning up and saying why they did it?
The white gloves make all the difference.
I read this again and had to wonder whether or not any of their members had argued against the availability of abortions and whether or not they had used rather graphic language to get their point across. Probably but that doesn’t mean they have a double standard….
“It’s a state where ‘no’ means…YES!
It’s Pure Michigan.”
They don’t seem to have complained about the Operation Rescue “truth trucks” with gory post-op images splayed all over them:

As my friend from Michigan would say, in his N. Michigan goat farmer impersonation:
“Ay-yup!”
Well that’s what I’m saying. Sounds like Michigan wants to go pro with the batshit crazy thing, and I figured Florida where you go to do it. Gosh, who wouldn’t want to live in a state that Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh have adopted as home, and has its own fark tag.
I’ve been waiting for Florida to threaten secession, so we can applaud heartily, but so far nothing doing.
As for your own predicament, I can only repeat what Harvey Keitel memorably advised John Travolta and Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction, “move outta the sticks, boys.”
And I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. Global Warming deniers are unusually numerous in Florida– a state which at no point rises more than thirty-odd feet above sea level. So Fare Thee Well, WangState, Fare Thee Well, and don’t think it hasn’t been fun.
Because it hasn’t.
[Ba dump bum.]
I guess a certain cartoon will have to be banned in Michigan, then.
NO MEANS NO
Actually, I think FL has a 500 foot “mountain” in the northern part of the state. Of course given the overweening conservative bias among politicians, and the corresponding increase in development, that could be down below 300 feet by now….
Actually, Ruthie, that’s a garbage pile comprised mostly of old automobile tires, which frequently bursts into flame on hot days. It’s a tourist attraction to rival Disney’s pile further south, and I’ll stop poking fun at poor Florida now, okay?
Couldn’t Florida just pass a law making a foot only six inches? That would double the number of feet they are above sea level. Just a thought.
Yep [laughing] and they are just the state to do it. Go bravely into the beyond, Florida legislators.
