1. Your colonoscopy report has good news

They found your head!

[3catwoman3]

6. Conversely, the CAT scan performed...

...after the cranio-rectal inversion was corrected showed there was nothing in said head.

What a complete idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MADem]

26. For. The. WIN!!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

51. !!!

[calimary]

58. DUzy!!!!!!!!!!!!

DANG! You won the thread, I think!

[NewJeffCT]

75. Best first response in a thread I've seen in a long time

[NYC_SKP]

2. Got the Ron Paul pin, he's proudly to be ignorant.

You go, dude!

[irisblue]

3. he has a law degree, that means he had to attend college

did he not ever notice the anatomy? and I feel deeply sorry for his wife Joy (cause she will never know it with this clown). Seriously did you not take Biology 102 , basic human anatomy in college? Just wow, you a dumbass pal

[LynneSin]

13. Orly Taintz has a Law Degree. You can get those from some shady institutions

just saying.....

[Xipe Totec]

73. I think she had brains but lost them from too much mercury vapors. This guy, on the other hand...

Orly was a dentist.

Spending too much time playing with mercury can make you mad as a hatter.

[AlbertCat]

48. COLLEGE??????

" basic human anatomy in college? "

Try High School... or even Middle School! I mean, how can anyone whether he went to school or not be so clueless???

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

74. Maybe he went to 'Christian' schools.

And all the 'dirty parts' were glossed over.

If it's 'good enough' for them, they feel it's 'good enough' for the rest of us, which is why the RWers are constantly trying to censor those sorts of basic biology classes, or 'sex ed' as they call em. The old 'If they don't know anything about those parts, maybe they won't use them' ploy. Because that always works, right?

[father founding]

4. Very Easy

The weird part is that they don't have to look very hard for these clowns.

[thesquanderer]

5. OTOH, if they insert a camera into his rectum, maybe they will find his brain. (n/t)

[cascadiance]

61. Or that his head embedded in there doesn't have a brain...

[47of74]

7. My theory

He got his knowledge of female anatomy from the manual of a pornographic Atari 2600 game.

Probable NSFW link here.

[jmowreader]

45. I'm not sure I want to know how you found that link

[47of74]

81. Been interested in video game history for a few years.

While researching video game history I found out about some of the smut a few 3rd party developers put out for the 2600 platform. I think that's part of the reason Nintendo put the 10NES chips in the Nintendo Entertainment System and made their licensing so restrictive. They wanted to make sure no one was able to introduce pornographic or other low quality games for the NES. Atari's problem was that they didn't have much control over what 3rd party developers put out for the 2600.

[KansDem]

8. Was he serious?

I can't believe these morons get elected to public office!

[niyad]

10. the scarier part is just how much more ignorant are the people who vote for these morans.

[Plucketeer]

43. That's always MY first thought

When you hear of a pubic servant like this - or like Ghomert, or Bachmann, or West. These folks were voluntarily ELECTED by those citizens in their districts! How friggin' STUPID must that hole place be???

[niyad]

9. hey, vito, hate to tell you, but "fantastic voyage" was FICTION.

[Politicalboi]

35. Say it ain't soooooooooo!

[niyad]

37. there, there, did not mean to spoil your day!!!

[deurbano]

47. That was my first thought! I was one of the people standing outside the premiere for that movie

in 1966 because my mom was star-struck:

(Cheesy and racist commentary included...)

[WinkyDink]

57. O/T, but going to that movie was my very first date!

[deurbano]

63. Memories! My response was O/T, too. But when I remembered the premiere, I googled...

and there was the cheesy video. Took me back... (Hope the date was fun!)

[WinkyDink]

82. Would've been more fun if his younger brother hadn't tagged along! :-P

[onyourleft]

11. I really hope...

...this goes viral. This level of ignorance among politicians who are making life and death decisions for women should not be ignored or glossed over. This is right up there with the "shut the whole thing down" remark. Seriously, if this man has a college degree there is no excuse for this level of stupidity.

[LynneSin]

15. I suspect you won't have to hope very hard

It's making the rounds on facebook and twitter.

So it is getting out there.

[onyourleft]

18. Good.

I just have little tolerance (as you may have guessed 😊 for any person, male or female, sitting on committees or boards who are this ignorant. They should never be making life and death decisions for others.

[niyad]

38. forget the life and death part. they should NEVER be in a position to make ANY decisions for

anybody else, EVER.

[appalachiablue]

46. +10

[florida08]

12. what a maroon

How did the republican party get so stupid? Not only are they flaming sociopaths but they're ignorant beyond reason!
Herp derp is too kind for this one

[CanonRay]

14. Note the Ron Paul badge...idiots of a feather, etc.

[Cryptoad]

19. good one! nt

[VA_Jill]

59. Except

that Ron Paul delivered babies, so he at least knows how vaginas work!

[CanonRay]

60. How can you grow up to adulthood

in America and not know this stuff. I'm constantly astounded at the baffling ignorance on the right. Like they came from another planet and are just visiting, causing trouble.

[niyad]

65. sad tale, but true: a young college woman, on being told the test was positive, was heard to

say, "but, doctor, he told me it wasn't his fertile period". now, please understand, this person was not attending some diploma mill, but an actual high-ranking academic institution, one which insisted on a high level of academic performance. I guess she skipped biology.

[raven mad]

67. I seriously overheard this conversation at a coffee shop frequented by college students:

"Hey, Deb, let me borrow one of your birth control pills". (Guy)

Deb explains that a single pill won't work, goes through the process, etc.

"Hell, Deb, Iknow that, but shedoesn't."

I hope Deb alerted whatever woman this asshole was dating.....................

[niyad]

79. oh my word. I seriously hope Deb slapped the hell out of him, or, at the very least,

dumped coffee on his lap.

[MissDeeds]

16. Well now we know

how he's been having sex.

[barbtries]

17. sad proof

that you don't have to be intelligent to gain office in the US.

[Duval]

20. Dumber and dumber. nt

[alfredo]

21. He thinks it would delay an abortion because it takes a week to get the photos

back from Rite Aid.

[Roland99]

24. Glossy or matte?

[alfredo]

28. Matte, glare affects his cataracts.

[Roland99]

62. Matte can cause chafing when wiping, though

[alfredo]

64. Makes him feel like a real man.

[Enthusiast]

22. Rachel did a fantastic job on this idiot.

[SwissTony]

23. And men like these want to have a role in determining women's health choices?

I'm embarrassed to be a man. This level of stupidity is simply stunning. Many 15 year olds know more than this DH.

[vkkv]

25. He takes 'dumb as a Republican' to a new low.

er.. Republi-SCUM I mean.

[47of74]

68. Yeah he sure as hell does that.

I wouldn't want to call him as dumb as a stump because that's insulting to stumps.

[rocktivity]

27. He simply has his medical procedures mixed up, that's all

Last edited Mon May 29, 2017, 11:17 PM - Edit history (2)

Colonoscopy A test that allows your doctor to look at the inner lining of your large intestine (rectum and colon)...(H)elps find ulcers, colon polyps, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding...(T)issue samples can be collected (biopsy) and abnormal growths can be taken out. (It) can also be used as a screening test to check for cancer or precancerous growths in the colon or rectum (polyps).

Laparoscopy: a surgery that uses a thin, lighted tube put through a cut (incision) in the belly to look at the abdominal organs or the female pelvic organs. Laparoscopy is used to find problems such as cysts, adhesions, fibroids , and infection. Tissue samples can be taken for biopsy through the tube (laparoscope).

Frist-oscopy: a diagnosis made by a doctor outside his area of expertise by viewing a four-month-old video.

GOP-oscopy: A camera built into a vaginal probe determines if a fetus is present in order to intimidate women out of seeking abortions. Fulfills the federal definition of rape:

“The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

[niyad]

80. those last two medical procedures are clearly detrimental to one's health.

[Mike Nelson]

29. This is how they like their...

...Republicans educated.

[shenmue]

30. Oh sweet Jesus

That is some weapons-grade Duh.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

31. To this guy a hole is a hole.

[tclambert]

32. No, no, no. Have her husband tape a camera to his you-know-what.

And then just maybe you'll get video of a vagina. It might be the neighbor lady's or one of his co-worker's, though.

P.S. "Selfie-stick" means something entirely different.

[world wide wally]

33. How do we lose elections to these idiot assholes?

[LynneSin]

36. Have you seen the people who watch Faux News

Those idiots will believe anything and they vote for idiots like this.

[world wide wally]

41. I don't see how an idiot like this gets even 5 votes, let alone enough to win an election.

Sad state of affairs in the good ol' USA

[Jim Lane]

34. If the swallowed camera sees no fetus, then the subsequent procedure is not an abortion.

That sounds like a good solution to me. She and her doctor can go ahead with whatever they decide on, and the state's laws against abortion are not violated.

We should all be getting behind this idea!

[WhoIsNumberNone]

39. Well, you know they have teeth down there...

[ellie]

40. Because of this asshole

I had a conversation with my 84 year old mother about vaginas and how stupid rebukes were. It was awkward and satisfying all at once.

[SoapBox]

42. Another in a long line of STOOPID fuck Pukes and Baggers.

Stupifying.

[LeftinOH]

44. Is this level of ignorance tolerated in other countries?

I'd like to believe there are places in the world where citizens hold their elected officials to a higher standard of intelligence.

[AlbertCat]

49. My friend, who works in early education, showed me this!

If you Google "Where do babies come from" the 1st hit is this:

Where do Babies Come From?

The Rockwell Institute for Biological Sciences

Babies are gifts from God.

According to Katie, when a family wants a baby, God searches all over Heaven to find the perfect baby for that family.

When God finds the perfect baby, God shows it to daddy to make sure daddy approves.

Presuming all is OK with God and daddy, God puts the baby in mommy's tummy when mommy is asleep.

Mommy and daddy go to the hospital, and a doctor catches the baby when it comes out of mommy. The doctor may help if the baby doesn't come out easily, that's why mommy and daddy usually try to go to the hospital when the baby is ready to come out.

The baby comes out, and mommy and daddy and the family have a new baby.

Yay!

******************

Well, as long as daddy approves. Is mommy asleep yet?

[progressoid]

52. What the F^@%?

[AllyCat]

50. Next up for a seat on the Science Committee!

He's proudly science illiterate and would make an ideal candidate for them.

[knightmaar]

53. He claims he was making a rhetorical point by asking the question.

I would claim that too, were I to make such a stupid statement.

Is there any evidence one way or the other?

[WinkyDink]

56. Then he also doesn't know what "rhetorical question" means. Maybe he could swallow a small

dictionary.

[knightmaar]

78. Yeah, I just watched the video.

He did not sound like he was making a rhetorical point.

If the tone of his question had been different, more like:
"Why are we talking about camera pills that can be swallowed? Can a swallowed camera pill find its way into a vagina?"
"No, Representative."
"Exactly."

Then I'd buy his "rhetorical point" excuse.

As it stands, no.

[marym625]

54. Oh. my. dog.

Actually, my dog would know more than this idiot.

[WinkyDink]

55. It would have to take quite the detour!

[Initech]

66. Well he does suffer from an infectious disease.

Wherein the victim suffers from a condition where the colon recirculates fecal matter to the cranial cavity. Scientists call this disease "corpro encenplelapathy". Or in layman's terms "shit for brains."

[47of74]

69. Dumb-fuck-itis.

[PatrickforO]

70. Nothing to do here but laugh.

Because if I didn't laugh I'd cry, because 'we the people' were STUPID, UNINFORMED and IGNORANT enough to elect people like this across the nation in a giant Republican sweep.

Yes, we have the government we deserve, don't we?

[C Moon]

71. I'd always thought these representatives had advisors??? WTF?

[santroy79]

72. what a idiot

[NewJeffCT]

76. Ladies and Gentleman - let me introduce you to

the Tea Party candidate for US Senate from Idaho for 2016....

[AlbertCat]

77. Actually.....

someone who has read or seen the whole Q & A points out, he was responding to a statement about swallowing a camera to determine gastrointestinal problems.... so, even tho' it's STILL a stupid statement, it's not just out of the blue.
