    Good news, because this thing on my neck is getting bigger.

  2. Noonan says at 1:08 pm, May 13th, 2009

    If that is what nurses look like in the new U.S.S.A., marx my words, she can lenin real close and give me a sponge bath any time. Trotsky. Penis.

    Something tells me that maid gets a raise whether she asks for one or not.

  4. chascates says at 1:10 pm, May 13th, 2009

    I need my gall bladder removed so this will be perfect. I also need about 4 teeth crowned.

  5. V572625694 says at 1:10 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Alt-text FTW. But what’s she holding?

  6. charlesdegoal says at 1:12 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Or, if symptomatic, move to Canada or Cuba.

  7. dijetlo says at 1:12 pm, May 13th, 2009

    and we’re to conclude it will contain some type of “National Hooker Allowance”?
    Thank you Acorn…you are all wonderful people….

  8. Custerwolf says at 1:12 pm, May 13th, 2009

    That’s a nurse? Okay. This changes everything.

  9. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:12 pm, May 13th, 2009

    As long as it covers medical marijuana, I’m for it.

  10. Hellooooooooooo, nurse!

    V572625694: Dipstick

  11. SmutBoffin says at 1:14 pm, May 13th, 2009

    That is. . .ambitious. It’ll probably end up just being a package that gets sent to every household containing:
    a first aid kit
    maps to Canadian pharmacies
    a stiff polymer tube to bite down on during home surgery
    an autographed picture of C. Everett Coop (they found a bunch of them in a box in a Hill office building)

  12. Custerwolf says at 1:16 pm, May 13th, 2009

    V572625694: I thought it was a feather duster, but what do I know. My boyfriend’s the one who gets to dress up like that and clean the place.

  13. SmutBoffin says at 1:16 pm, May 13th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: HaHa, Coop = Koop. HaHa, epic neckbeard.

  14. Lascauxcaveman says at 1:17 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Custerwolf: TGY: Indeed, I feel a significant illness or injury requiring a long hospital stay with a great deal of personal care coming on.

  15. x111e7thst says at 1:17 pm, May 13th, 2009

    If I ever get munnies again I would be willing to pay taxes on those munnies to have this Health Care of which youy speak.

  16. snideinplainsight says at 1:20 pm, May 13th, 2009

    So if, say, Rush’s kidneys were to suddenly fail - ?

  17. Will cynicism be considered a “pre-existing condition”?

  18. Lascauxcaveman: Yeah. Too bad nurses usually only look like that on costume websites. Then again, a little roleplay goes a long way and at least you don’t have to deal with medical insurance forms.

  19. SayItWithWookies says at 1:31 pm, May 13th, 2009

    The big winners in this plan will either be the American people or Norm Coleman’s lawyers. I’m not quite sure which way to bet yet…

  20. V572625694 says at 1:31 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Dontcha hate mixed sexual metaphors? Fantasy-nurse-girl should be holding a proctoscope, or something similar.

  21. Custerwolf says at 1:36 pm, May 13th, 2009

    V572625694: She’s obviously non-union.

  22. Kingbee says at 1:38 pm, May 13th, 2009

    The nurse photo already improved my today’s mental health, anyway.

  23. RoscoePColtraine says at 1:41 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Enema parties will be “in” in 2010.

  24. AnnieGetYourFun says at 1:42 pm, May 13th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: I adore you ever so much.

    TGY: I have a theory that one way to pay for a new healthcare system is to provide the tiered system in which people who want to pay more for health insurance and premium care can do so. I don’t mean that they get better medical devices, but that there are enough rich fuckers out there who would pay through the nose to have hot nurses in traditional white dresses. I’m serious - I actually think I could open a chain of care centers that provide hot, hot nurses, manly orderlies, and decent doctors - you could tax the shit out of the place and use the taxes to pay for hospitals for people who don’t care if their nurses are hot, as long as they are competent.

    I just realized that there aren’t any people who don’t care if their nurses are hot.

  25. Yes You Can Own A Piece of History says at 1:48 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Can’t we just eat more cheerios and feel better?

  26. Professor Proffy McProfalton, Prof. says at 1:49 pm, May 13th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: Epic neckbeard: so very right.

  27. DAmicosonegoodyear says at 1:49 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Too late for me… I’ve got rigor mortis now. In my groinial region.

  28. proudgrampa says at 1:54 pm, May 13th, 2009

    TGY: New design Rectal Thermometer??

  29. proudgrampa says at 1:55 pm, May 13th, 2009

    TGY: Colonoscope?

  30. proudgrampa says at 1:56 pm, May 13th, 2009

    TGY: Sigmoidoscope?

  31. Custerwolf says at 1:57 pm, May 13th, 2009

    DAmicosonegoodyear: Rx: Get a hold of yourself.

  32. SmutBoffin: “an autographed picture of C. Everett Coop”

    So they are going to be covering birth control; hurray!

  33. Lazy Media says at 1:59 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Eh, what’s the difference?

  34. A Harlequin Bromance says at 2:01 pm, May 13th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: Do patients have to tip their nurses with one dollar bills every time they take temperatures? Do rectal exams cost more?

    It’s not a bad idea though. Perhaps a good way to winnow the gene pool.

  35. forgracie says at 2:03 pm, May 13th, 2009

    That nurse made me sick to my pants….

  36. SmutBoffin says at 2:03 pm, May 13th, 2009

    JMP: Kinda. You just get a roll of Saran-Wrap and some rubber bands.

  37. RoscoePColtraine says at 2:07 pm, May 13th, 2009

    I’d still insist on Dr. Hardbody giving me all of my injections.

  38. DAmicosonegoodyear says at 2:17 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Custerwolf: That’s a prescription I will certainly follow.

  39. lawrenceofthedesert says at 2:19 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Judging from the photo, becoming Speaker has really agreed with Nancy.

  40. A Harlequin Bromance: In that case, the rubber glove test is a straight ticket to bankruptcy.

  41. Custerwolf says at 2:25 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Lazy Media: I’m going as Sexy Jesus next Halloween.

  42. Lazy Media: I remember that. It has the best sales line ever: ‘Get up off yer ass and get down here! I got shit I’m tryin’ to sell.’ Classic.

  43. proudgrampa: I’m out of scope.

  44. thefrontpage says at 2:29 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Awesome accompanying picture! Please run more.

  45. Fae Yin says at 2:36 pm, May 13th, 2009

    I’m definitely with Krugman when he says “I’ll count my healthcare bills when they’re hatched.”

  46. proudgrampa says at 2:47 pm, May 13th, 2009

    TGY: I got more! Proctoscope, anoscope, endoscope…

    OK, I’m done!

  47. WadISay says at 3:11 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Wonkette has obviously invested in a CD of clipart of tarts representing every ethnic group: the wee leprechaun, ze French maid, and now this. Thank you for sharing, so we can all touch ourselves inappropriately.

  48. Mr Blifil says at 3:46 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Trannie Nurses are all I need to get ‘er done.

  49. Bitter-Elitist says at 5:53 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: It’s a trap!

    Also and Also.

  50. Bruno says at 9:16 pm, May 13th, 2009

    When are they going to start handing out the free morning after pills to 13 year olds?

  51. AKAM80TheWolf says at 11:36 pm, May 13th, 2009

    Mr Blifil:

    Just don’t get stuck in gear, those manual trannies can be a bitch (or not) sometimes.
