And we now have crowned our 21st Century Marie Antionette, State Rep. Cynthia Davis of Missouri. A Republican of course.

In the course of working through budget cuts each state has to do, she wants to kill a program that feeds undernourished kids during the summer.

Her primary problem is feeding kids 16 and older, since, you know, they can go find summer jobs at McDonalds that will also feed them lunch.

First off, I don’t think there are enough McJobs to feed all those kids…in a good economy.

Secondly, Missouri has the 19th highest unemployment rate in the country at 9 percent. Even the McJobs that existed last year aren’t there for summer workers anymore.

Third, and actually this would be first if she wasn’t a “compassionate” conservative, YOU DON’T MAKE JOKES ABOUT WANTING TO STARVE CHILDREN!

According to recent polls, 72 percent of Americans would like the government to offer some kind of public option plan for health insurance.

According to the same poll, only 18 percent would even want to see what Rethugs have to think on the issue. So why are they getting all of the press?

Honestly, given how Leslie’s plan has been gutted and how mine has felt a bit of a squeeze of late, I’d like to see the details of said policy as well.

I just think Republicans don’t want to lose the lobbyist dollars they get from the insurance industry. I mean, if they really hated public insurance, they’d be cancelling the plan the government currently spends money on for them. Right?

There sure are a lot of Red Staters there.

Turns out that another “family values” Republican has spent the last year providing cover for John Ensign’s affair.

Tom Coburn, supposedly “moral” Oklahoma legislator, has been point man on a) supporting Ensign, and b) covering up the affair.

To clear things up for our pseudo-Christian friends: Ensign screwed a subordinate which, yes, violates his oath of marriage, and then bumped up her pay, got her husband AND her 19 year old son gigs on both the federal and GOP dime.

But you guys sure know when a wrong is wrong, right? Clinton screws an intern and we blow (sorry, bad pun) the better part of a million to get him impeach. Your boy Larry Craig tries to have sex with another man you try your best to run him out of office.

Here in Nevada we have a GOP governor who took office early (and possibly illegally), tried to bang a cocktail waitress in a parking garage and has cheated on his wife with other women, but you’re fine with that.

And now Nevada has another scumbag violator of the oath of marriage and you have no problem with that either?
