As the evidence adds up that Arizona is quickly surpassing Georgia as the most fucked up state in the union (and is it any surprise that Georgia just adopted Arizona's immigration laws?), we now have the sad tale of Senator Jon Kyl-R(etarded).
So as I'm sure you've heard, the government almost shut down last week until they decided in the 12th hour, "Hey...let's just extend the deadline!" Seriously...why even have a fucking deadline? Anyway, the big issue that was holding up a budget agreement was the GOP's desire to defund Planned Parenthood because the GOP hates them some abortion.
Isn't it always about abortion? Like, there's no logical reason any Republican should ever be against abortion unless you consider the wrath of Jesus a logical reason. How the fuck can you be so inclined to cutting social services for the poor yet at the same time want to increase the population of the impoverished? Furthermore, how the hell is defunding the biggest provider of contraceptives in the country supposed to reduce abortions? Think about that for a second! It doesn't FIT!!! Okay, so here is Jon Kyl making the case on the Senate floor...
"Everybody goes to clinics, to hospitals, to doctors, and so on. Some people go to Planned Parenthood. But you don't have to go to Planned Parenthood to get your cholesterol or your blood pressure checked. If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that's well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does," the senator crowed.
Now as you can see in the graphic above, the Senator may have exaggerated just a bit. Either that or he just flat-out lied because "well over 90%" would indicate let's say 95%? This fucking guy just missed the truth by 92 GOD-DAMNED MOTHERFUCKING PERCENT!!!
So what went wrong?
The senator's remark "was not intended to be a factual statement but rather to illustrate that Planned Parenthood, an organization that receives millions in taxpayer dollars, does subsidize abortions," Kyl's staff says in a statement.
No. Unacceptable in every way imaginable. Fire him now. He is not allowed to serve and if you voted for him you need to have those rights revoked immediately. I'm sorry, but there's simply no other way around it.
I wonder what the 1% "Other" stands for? Matchmaking for dates? Because I always thought that Planned Parenthood is more in the 35% range for that. What a great place to pick up chicks, eh? /es
Fire him. Agreed.

This is usually something that dumbasses who aren't elected US Representatives would pull. I think everyone in Congress should start doing it.

Come on... just because Arizona's cowboys keep electing old idiots doesn't make us as bad as Georgia. I don't think we filmed the Dukes of Hazzard here even once. And I know we never faked a Bigfoot capture.
If I was John Kyl's hype man, I'd have said, "The Senator meant to imply that over 90% of government subsidized abortions occur at Planned Parenthood." Maybe it's still false, but it sounds better than "He was just talking to be talking."
But as previously discussed (on Facebook?), our leaders don't have to be know exact facts like what country is on what continent. They just have to mean well, or something.

Well, and to be fair, that graph shows what was going on in 2009. Perhaps this Kyl dude is in on some more up to date stats that show that abortions have shot up 92% in the past year and a half? Maybe?...
I dunno. I keep looking at his name, and feeling like there are too many letters missing from it. Driving me CRAZY.

FWIW, Kyl is retiring

I heard Planned Parenthood is going to include optometry services with their other program. They will give you a vision test while you're getting an abortion. It's part of their plan to draw in more clients and wipe out the human race.

Sometimes I tell women that I have a 12-inch penis. It's not meant to be fact, just to illustrate the point that I want to have sex with them.
