“Sciencing”! I love that! I hope that becomes as popular as Stephen Colbert’s “truthiness”.

Now watch Senator Mel start screaming about the liberal media while throwing Katy under the bus.

Apparently, this staffer got the same kind of medical education that another frosh Senator got----Joni Ernst says that vaccines should be abolished, because they make people liberal instead of conservative.

I shit you not.

During his Senate campaign against former Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC), Tillis announced his support for over-the-counter birth control, which likely contradicts Talento’s views on contraception.

What? A politician said something he doesn’t believe in to get elected? I’ll be damned!

It’s okay. When Tillis only said he was for making birth control pills OTC. He didn’t say he intended to actually do anything as a Senator to make them OTC. (Which, on balance is a good thing given that anyone who’s not a total ignoramus knows enough about the different kinds of oral contraception to know why medical supervision and monitoring is necessary.)

Making them OTC is a backdoor way of denying birth control to millions of people who will no longer be able to afford that medication.

I hope you’re right–that he won’t do anything about it.

It was a Koch-funded Luntz-tested way for them to evade answering whether insurance companies should have to pay for them. But they never had, and never will have, any intention of doing anything about it because Abortion and Slut Pills. The right wingers got that. The conspicuous lack of any outcry from the religious right generally, or conservative Catholics specifically, was the glaring tell of that. Which, of course, our ever-sharp MSM failed to notice using their checklist approach to journalism. Ask a question, get an answer, check the box, pat yourself on the back for holding the powerful accountable, and move on to the next question.

Against Ron Johnson, Joni Ernst and Inhofe? Shoot, he’s dumb, no question about it, but he’s strictly J.V. dumb and, barring a neurological injury or electoral turnover, he’ll never make varsity in the Senate.

And lord-a-mercy, he’d be strictly intramural level in the House Stupidity League.

Not saying I’m not deeply ashamed, chagrined and appalled, of course.

Tillis has barely figured out where his office is. It’s a little early for him to start pandering for votes for the Tillis 2020 Campaign.

Tillis is so stupid that if you ask him his name, he has to sing “Happy Birthday To You” under his breath before he can tell you what it is.
