This Just In: GOP Congressional Leadership Felled by Brain Virus!

[MineralMan]

This is breaking, and I don't have a link yet. But, reports say, and I heard on the electric radio just now, that the entire GOP leadership team in both houses of Congress have taken ill with a brain virus that creates instant stupidity in its victims. While Democrats have natural immunity to this virus, there are hints that it is spreading in both the House and Senate. As evidence, an expert from Hopkins' John University said that the current House bill to repeal the CFL light bulb bill is evidence that the virus may be spreading beyond the leadership and infecting rank and file members of Congress.

More as information becomes available on this late-breaking story.

2. But how can a virus affect a dead brain?

[KittyWampus]

17. Zombie Virus attacks dead tissue of living dead?

[WheelWalker]

18. OMG, you must be right!

[Ineeda]

3. OMG!!1!1

Constituents infected as well. Looks fatal. Or at least terminal. Real bad, anyway.

[MineralMan]

4. Recent tests on an experimental vaccine show no positive

results. Republicans are apparently without a defense against this virus. It may take them all.

[Joe Bacon]

14. They got the Acquired Stupidity Syndrome!

They're all infected with the A.S.S. virus! :rofl:

[MineralMan]

19. You win the thread!

[SpiralHawk]

5. I knew when the Republicons started their WAR AGAINST TRUTH & The AMERICAN WAY

That it would be a total karmic blowback for them.

[MineralMan]

6. I hear that some are saying that this virus started to appear

during Ronald Reagan's second term. The signs that he was infected with it were masked by being surrounded by sycophants who help disguise his illness.

He may be the index case, if what I heard is true.

7. Whoever's unreccing this: Thanks. Such satirical stuff doesn't

belong on the Greatest Page. You have my thanks. Truly.

[RKP5637]

8. I think it's called Bachmannitis! AKA Brain Melt! n/t

[gratuitous]

9. I knew this was a hoax

It would be like saying the U.S. women's soccer team has been hampered by an outbreak of prostate cancer.

[MineralMan]

10. I always knew you were pretty quick.

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

11. If only they had a back-up brain, in case of emergency... n/t

[hifiguy]

12. Brain slugs, probably

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. Naw. Like in Futurama, it'd die of starvation. nt

[damntexdem]

13. That is clearly wrong! Obviously untrue! An impossibility!

How could a brain virus fell the brainless?

;-)

16. Update: Some are saying it's spreading to their voters now.

There's been some speculation Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh my be spreading the virus via their voices.

An unnamed source in the White House told one reporter, "I switched parties. Since I had not been stricken with the virus yet I realized I was too intelligent to be a Republican."

20. They were infected with that years ago.
