The idiocy behind Morris’ assertion is self-evident, and I’m not about to dignifying the silliness by attempting to decontruct it. What I do admire is the sense of humor shown by one of his colleagues as he ridiculed Morris:
After controversial remarks by one Republican lawmaker attacking Girl Scouts as a radical group that supports abortion, House Speaker Brian Bosma made his feelings clear Tuesday, one Thin Mint cookie at a time.
Bosma, R-Indianapolis, pointedly offered Girl Scout cookies throughout the day and munched them as he presided over the House….
Bosma clearly felt the same but also clearly wanted people to know he didn’t share Morris’ views.
At one point Tuesday, he told House colleagues he had “purchased 278 cases of Girl Scout cookies in the last 48 hours.”
And when time came for the House to adjourn, he asked all lawmakers who had been Girl Scouts — and seemingly every female legislator stood — to give the daily motion to adjourn.
When a member of your own party feels the need to ridicule you, you have to know that you’ve stepped in it. Morris, though, while clearly trying to distance himself from his comments, appears loathe to disavow them.
Right; if a Democrat does it, it’s the worst sort of dishonest propaganda imaginable. When a Republican does, it’s pointing out what should be blindingly obvious to any REAL American patriot.
