1. When you're so primed by your hallucinations to not even blink at this...

...maybe you shouldn't be entrusted with the public's business.

3. The stupid, it hurts.

4. Hahahaha "Abortionplex".

Only in the brainwashed mind of a right wing nut would such a place actually threaten to exist.

This sort of guilability should be reason enough to question his ability to serve his constituents with any reasonable degree of competence. If we liberals had one tenth the abortions the GOP imagines, there would be no Democratic Party for him to run against.

9. the bit about the margaritas and the ride down the lazy river should have given it away...

but I guess that puke didn't even know better...

7. Does this idjit have to be reminded

to breathe?

8. Ha ha. Epic fail.

10. They believe anything that fits their idiotology

Just ask Orly. She downloaded her proof off the internets. I have been spanking down some bithers on a youtube vid "Obama's Hidden Past". One claimed to have proof that snopes lied and when I went to check it out, I found that snopes had laid a major smackdown on him and World Nut Daily. He even got his own thread in the snopes forum "A special kind of stupid"

11. I have to disagree with the term duped

It kind of implies the Onion was trying to get the lawmaker to do something based on a falsehood. They didn't do that, this idiot just believed it.

12. some people are really fuckin' stupid

and it seems like a majority of them are GOP lawmakers.

[Bozita]

13. FoxNews watchers wouldn't find anything out of line with this Onion report

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. They want to believe so very badly

that stuff like this actually exists.

15. I just looked at the congressman's Facebook page...

You would need heavy machinery to pull his head out of his ass. The whole thing is anti-Obama bullshit.

I swear, the first day of Obama's second term he needs to drop a HUGE tax increase/spending cut/Afghanistan war termination bill (I'm thinkin' $1 in tax increases for every $1 in cuts on spending in congressional districts with Republican representatives) onto the House--a bill large enough to erase the deficit in one year. And then tell these fuckers, "you wanted us to get rid of the deficit, fine. This will do it."

16. The Onion gave this response in the Hill magazine:

"We're delighted to hear that Rep. Fleming is a regular reader of America's Finest News Source and doesn't bother himself with the New York Times, Washington Post, the mediums of television and radio, or any other lesser journalism outlets," said Joe Randazzo, The Onion's editor in a statement to The Hill."
