Speaker John A. Boehner announced Friday that Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., will chair the investigative panel created following a string of hidden camera videos showing Planned Parenthood employees talking about the sale of fetal tissue.
“Recent videos exposing the abortion-for-baby parts business have shocked the nation, and demanded action,” Boehner said Friday in a statement. “At my request, three House committees have been investigating the abortion business, but we still don’t have the full truth.”
Boehner said Blackburn will have “the resources and the subpoena power to get to the bottom of these horrific practices, and build on our work to protect the sanctity of all human life.”
The full list of morons participating in this farce are as follows:
- Rep. Marsha Blackburn, chairwoman
- Rep. Joe Pitts of Pennsylvania.
- Rep. Diane Black of Tennessee.
- Rep. Larry Bucshon of Indiana.
- Rep. Sean Duffy of Wisconsin.
- Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland.
- Rep. Vicki Hartzler of Missouri.
- Rep. Mia Love of Utah.
How much longer do we have to put up with this bullshit? These fuckers are so outraged about every fucking thing under the sun.It's really pissing me off.We have serious problems to contend with and the assholes are drawing attention away from our real problems like ISIS and climate change and myriad other things. Very akin to Nero fiddling while Rome burnt.These bums need to be on the street post haste.
ReplyDeleteHow can we the people make this bullshit stop? They are wasting tax dollars on religion.
DeleteThese fakes, phonies, and fuckers are supposed to work for the people. You know, the people that pay their bloated wages, benefits, insurance, etc. They are not representing the American people, they are screwing them and ripping them off. They are taking over. So now what the hell do you do?
They need to be flooded daily with written notes, emails, texts, calls, whatever. This needs to be stopped before it starts. We'll never get a thing accomplished by sitting on our asses bitching to each other. That's how we got to this ridiculous place. While a huge portion of America was busy bitching, the fake xtians were turning over rocks and rallying.
This did not happen last year, I have been watching this coming for decades. These politicians are deceptive, devious, nasty, power hungry people and they want complete control at any cost. Scary, isn't it?
Everything is about SEX, Bullying and Money$$$
DeleteEVERYTHING!
Only outraged about select pro-GOP things.
DeleteHardly outraged about Sandy Hook, Gabby Giffords or any other incident that cries for changes in gun reporting, registration and restriction.
Hardly outraged about political campaign funding reform.
Climate change, ISIS or that big garbage heap in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that we have been the largest contributor to.
Instead we get petty partisan mud slinging like Benghazi and e-mails and now Planned Parenthood and outrage over manufactured voter fraud.
I don't understand how any sane person with halfway decent critical thinking skills can vote Republican.
Oh goody. Now Marcia will be on TV even more often, lying her ass off. The only thing shocking the nation is how stupid these,people are. The videos have Bern debunked. Planned Parenthood has been vindicated in red states. Please proceed GOP. Many of the women you are screwing used to vote for you.
ReplyDeleteCan we just say "NO"?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that these mental midgets can keep stirring false outrage while we have to endure (an pay) for it?
The whole world laughs at the GOP - what morons!
ReplyDeleteProblem is those cheesdicks don't give a shit. They're doing dogs work and are martyrs with lobbyists funneling money to fatten their purses/wallets.
DeleteJust as Texas is being used as a synonym for Crazy in Sweden they are going to use Republican as a synonym for Stupid.
DeleteMarsha has done well with her BS in home economics. She's a class A idiot.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it takes to slather all that makeup on that hideous kisser of hers. Hatred shows up in many ways, just look at sarah. Without their makeup they look like gargoyles.
DeleteThe gop/tp parties like their women dumb. Also barefoot and pregnant too. Marsha looks too old to get pregnant, she looks "rode hard, put away wet" Maybe she could pull a fake pregnancy like Palin did, and show up with a disabled child to get creds with the religious freaks.
DeleteCan the Attorney General not do something about this?
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired with these asswipes getting away with abusing the investigative powers of the House and Senate. This is blatant misuse for political purposes.
And, taxpayer's money!!! They should be made to reimburse each and every one of us for their blatant abuse of money and power! What assholes!! Do they really think they are going to win in upcoming elections? Fucking idiots every one of them!
DeleteWho is going to reimburse us?
DeleteThe Republican Party?
Or are they just going to steal more money from social safety net programs while at the same time bloating the military even more?
Where do you think that $4.5 million came from for the Benghazi hearings? It sure didn't come from the defense budget.
Marsha always looks like she just pulled a train on a High School football team. Perfect choice for chairwoman of the next waste of taxpayer money.
ReplyDeleteNot with my _ _ _k.
DeleteThat hag is looking pretty damn rough these days.
DeleteJust as they came off looking like crass idiots with their inquisition of Hillary Clinton a few days ago, they will again end up looking like idiots with this less than prudent move. They, the far right, are the gang that just can't win, and their toxic antics are tainting their entire party. They will either kill their party dead, or leave it on deaths door, compromised and losing all elections for the next 2 decades, at least. I personally am enjoying the hell out of watching them hobble themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt's a joke Gryph but it ain't funny. Not only are these assholes going to "investigate" Planned Parenthood, their jurisdiction includes fetal tissue research n general. The have very broad subpoena and investigative powers, and they will be able to harass and attempt to intimidate any biomedical researcher they want. They will be jeopardizing untold lives, in addition to wasting taxpayer $$$ and pissing off anyone with a brain. Disgusting.
DeleteThey'd better call Dr. Ben Carson to discuss his use of fetal tissue. Otherwise, they are total hypocrites.
DeleteDidn't they already have a hearing on Planned Parenthood in which the President of Planned Parenthood squished them like bugs?
DeleteOr are they shooting for even more useless investigations and hearings than the 8 they had on Benghazi.
All with the same result. Planned Parenthood exonerated and the GOP looking like fools.
Again.
And all at tax payer expense.
Oh cool, hiding behind a woman. I could have predicted that. Just like Adam. It's been that way forever.
ReplyDeleteWell, Issa and Gowdy screwed up, were unable to destroy Hillary. Give a woman a chance this time. Third time's a charm, so they say. What a waste of time and taxpayer money. We will be seeing these useless "representatives" on all the Sunday bobble head political Sunday shows from now until the election. Jindal said it best "We will never be able to attract the smart people to our party"
DeleteThey think being bullies wins or they gang bang like the monkeys they are!
ReplyDeleteNOT for long.. ...
...The Republicans do not seem to have learned any lessons from the thumping they took from Hillary Clinton during the Benghazi hearings. Rather than lick their wounds and devise a new political approach, they have decided to continue creating investigative panels to grill people they disagree with. Republicans keep desperately hoping to manufacture a scandal that they can use to hurt liberals and Democrats.
ReplyDeleteInstead, however, the GOP is setting up another politically embarrassing inquest that will end up backfiring against them, much like the Benghazi panel boomeranged against the Republicans on Thursday. Marsha Blackburn is an extremist and a “birther”, who isn’t known for her command of factual information, so putting her in charge of a fact-finding expedition is fraught with peril for the GOP. The odds of the committee looking foolish are astronomically high with Blackburn at the helm.

Marsha Blackburn is Tennessee's clone of Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteThe president of Planned Parenthood will destroy this committee just as Hillary destroyed the "Benghazi committee."
And Sean Duffy got his start on a TV reality show!!!
DeleteThis is not going to end well.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will end Blacburn's career.
DeleteIf we're lucky, maybe it will end all of their careers.
DeleteShe has been found guilty MULTIPLE times of misusing campaign funds. She gives cushy well paid jobs to family members and treats campaign funds like her own personal bank account. Yet she is still reelected and not in jail. WTF is wrong with people in Tennessee??
ReplyDeleteIf you can stand listening to her she is dumber than dirt(that's an insult to dirt) and she lies lies lies.
Yea but she's so hawt.
DeleteShe's got that alcoholic southern drawl that makes want to puke. Just like Paula deen. Hiccup! This is way over her head and she will fail miserably. Gaurrunteed!
If a couple marries in Tennessee, then divorces in Kentucky, are they still legally brother and sister?
DeleteEven if Kim Davis signed their divorce papers?
And this is the party that continually says " Get the government out of our lives" all the while trying to dictate how we should live our lives.
ReplyDeleteIt's like Nazi Germany tactics. These are scary times, Jews, Mexicans they need to blame someone. Please get out and vote. You may be one voice but one voice adds up when combined with all the others out there.
The very things that made this Country great the Republicans have forgotton. The founding fathers came together for the good of the Country. Republicans have lost the concept of The United States. United is the key word. They are the ones who make this country seem weak with all the turmoil and infighting and i for one am sick of it.
There are so many other battles and issues to face and they waste their time on planned parenthood. Get out of women's faces far as i am concerned no man has the right to dictate a choice that is exclusively a situation that only women can face. It's human rights that they want to take away.
For a party that that loves Ayn Rand they should not pick and choose.
Many of you are laughing. This isn't a joke. This is DOMINIONISM in action. When I talk about Dominionism with friends who claim to be 'born again xtians', they just shrug it off and say "That isn't Christianity".
ReplyDeleteLet's hope this latest assault on the public's purse strings by the idiots in congress is the last. While they pretend to be useful, the infrastructure is crumbling.
Domionism through Seven Mountain pseudo-christiany theology.
DeleteOwn all parts of society (business, government, education, media, family, religion, entertainment) and do it for America and then the world. Manifest Destiny on steroids.
Voila! A Christian theocracy (but only the 'right' kind of Christianity).
Lord have mercy on us all.
dowl
7:12, as long as the non-extremist christians - and others - don't do anything other than shrug, nothing will change.
DeleteHaha, the only time they want women to speak up in republican circles - when it comes to icky women parts.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, nope, nothing. Yeah, the congressional version of housecleaning and dusting.
This will go oh so not well for them, I'm loving it!
The idiot from Indiana should just read his own state's report and quit.
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't think these members can be embarrased because they have no shame, no conscience and no knowledge.
ReplyDeleteCarry on.
I agree. I think to be a republican in this age you need to be a sociopath.
DeleteAnd we all know one witch hunt is never enough with these folks, would love to see Marsha and every other female listed agree to a trans vaginal probe and full accounting of their sexual histories before doing this exercise in futility. Better yet, have the actors on the tapes get full subpoenas under penalty of perjury and lengthy fines/ jail time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the taxpayer's dollars could go to better use. Perhaps full frontal lobotomies for the liars?
Benghazi was such a fail I guess they are moving on.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what they think they'll gain by this.
The videos have all been debunked. Every investigation so far has shown Planned Parenthood to be blameless.
More tax payer money wasted by those claiming to be fiscally conservative.
They will most certainly be made to look like fools (again) and will most certainly lose more voters come November.
