Congressional Moms Destroying Both Nation, Own Families

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Did you know that there are ten Congresswomen with little kids?? It’s true! Ten ladies strutting around voting for shit when they should be at home raising their poor children! Just look at the list of shame:

The 10 congresswomen with children under 13: Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) and Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), Heather Wilson (R-N.M.), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.)

The Post tells us all about them today, from how Debbie Wasserman Shultz ignored her deathly ill 8-year-old to gallavant to New York for a fundraiser to how Heather Wilson hates Nancy Pelosi for making her work as much as a real working mother. And their lousy spoiled kids are interrupting Senate business:

President Heroically Makes Child Cry

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Fuck you, little girl - WonketteA petulant little girl tried to shame the President at a Cleveland Q&A on Tuesday. Jessica Hackerd, 13, had Bush right where she wanted him. Defeated and confused, Bush had just finished his rambling remarks when young Jessica pounced. She went right for his weak spot with a pointed question about the recently-defeated immigration bill, the final nail in the coffin of the President’s domestic legacy. MORE »

2008: The Campaign Without Teenagers

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Hail Satan! - WonketteWhile it’s certain that America will pick another crappy president next year, it’s increasingly unlikely that the winner will have any teen-aged daughters for the Washington Press Corps to ogle. Why? Experts say it’s because most of the major candidates are way too old and scary to have recently reproduced. MORE »

Duncan Hunter’s Son Duncan Hunter Now Just Doing His Dad’s Work For Him

Monday, March 26th, 2007

An emailer claims to have caught Duncan Hunter’s son Duncan Hunter pretending to be his congressman dad this last weekend. Though we’re pretty sure that’s not against the law — the district voted for Duncan Hunter, not necessarily that Duncan Hunter, right?

Presidential candidate and former HASC chair, Duncan Hunter, was outside his office Friday practicing his golf swing at some length….while his son (also named Duncan Hunter) sat in on meetings in his Dads office — inc meetings with VERY high ranking military officers.

There’s a hilarious story in here about the time our uncle Dick accidentally deposed the prince of Cambodia during a White House tour mistaken identity switcharoo in the ’70s, but it’s a bit long to get in to here.

More speculation, including claims of presidential campaign impropriety (horror of horrors!), after the jump, as always.
