Well to be fair, a rectal exam can be used for brain research on many Republican lawmakers.

His Wikipedia page just got edited to read:

“On February 23, 2015 Barbieri learned that if a woman swallows a pill it will not end up in her vagina.”

Yup and they aren’t going to stop there. Roe made abortion legal in the USA. So if you cannot make abortion illegal you go to plan two and make it impossible. This of course is done out of love of the Constitution. Somewhere the GOP’er read a clause in that Founding document that says if you don’t like a law in the land of the Rule of Law you just do an end run around it.

This guy co sponsored a bill requiring an ultrasound before an abortion and also voted for a bill urging Congress to repeal insurance coverage for contraception.

Yet he is totally ignorant of the reproductive process.

Congratulations, Idaho!

Was that the name of their goat or their penguin, I always get confused?

Anyone can have the job he’s got: decide as early as possible in your life never to rock any boat or stand out in any way or do anything positive for anyone, just make sure every political stance, position, and vote you take for the rest of your life serves conservative scoring groups. This guy’s been up around 180 proof since way before he ever stood for elected office. A low tech robot could do his job - one of those machines where you press down on a little lever on one side of a small plain box and then it gives off a whirring sound before the top opens a bit and a tiny mechanical arm-handish assembly emerges, moves towards the lever, pulls it up to the “OFF” position, goes back inside the box, the lid closes and the whirring stops.

Henceforth the entire apparatus I will refer to as a “Barbieri”, in Vito’s honor, and the little lever as “Vito” That way right wingers can say they control the Vito.

Sweet Jesus. Someone this ignorant has power over what happens to us?

Well, doctor of law maybe. Degree-lite rom the Fullerton Brush Company College of Legal Beagles, aka one of the longest established degree mills in California. You don’t go to Western because you 'couldn’t get into one of California’s actually justifiably prestigious law schools like Boalt Hall at Berkeley, you go there because your guidance counselor has advised you to avoid the future risk of being outed years later as a dumb bunny reflexive eRpublican, Instead, pre-self-cjheck-out your GOPerish ambitions by going straight to Western and getting in line as soon as possible for the tanningbed/lawdegree combo.

I see from Wikipedia that this guy was born in Texas. That probably explains a lot, too, especially his unfamiliarity with basic biology.

Don’t worry. He’s a state legislator in Idaho, so he only has power over, what, three, four hundred people?

I take it he’s a virgin?

It looks that way. At the very least he would be confused by oral sex.

I’d bet that Barbieri rushed home to confront his wife about her reasons for abstaining from fellatio.
