Stupid Republican idea of the day

Stupid idea? Sponsoring a bill which resulted in this testamony before the House Judiciary Committee of the Georgia legislature:

bill sponsored by Sen. Chip Pearson (R-Dawsonville) to prohibit the involuntary implantation of microchips in human beings

At least quote the money shot:

“Ma’am, did you say you have a microchip?” asked state Rep. Tom Weldon (R-Ringgold).

“Yes, I do. This microchip was put in my vaginal-rectum area,” she replied. Setzler, the sponsoring lawmaker, sat next to the witness – his head bowed.

“You’re saying this was involuntary?” Weldon continued.

The woman said she had been pushing a court case through the system for the last eight years to have the device removed.

Wendell Willard (R-Atlanta), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, picked up the questioning.

“Who implanted this in you?” he asked.

“Researchers with the federal government,” she said.

“And who in the federal government implanted it?” Willard asked.

“The Department of Defense.”

“Thank you, ma’am.”

What’s next? Prohibiting the use of mind control rays by the CIA? Outlawing talking dogs? Making it illegal for the movies to talk to me personally?

Letting crazy people write legislation is a bad idea.

Vaginal-rectum area? Something tells me this lady’s testimony is tainted.

I’ve asked my Congresscritter to sponsor legislation to make it illegal to play MIDI files backwards.

Can’t afford health care? Just see if your doctor will accept chickens for payment!

I dare any of you to send Sue Lowden a campaign donation in the form of a chicken.

[Boyo_Jim]

I’m gonna send her a bowl of sugar. She should enjoy getting a package of white powder in the mail.

Tell me you posted that.

[Fear_Itself]

I did not. There was a link on the TPM page.

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

Oh, this is brilliant:

@Wikipedia

Political positions
These are her stated views on key issues:

Health care
* Implement tort reform
* Allow employers to purchase plans in other states
* Allow patients to barter chickens, house painting, bolts of fabric, country hams and more with their doctors in order to purchase care
* Allow small businesses to better pool their resources when purchasing health insurance
* Create better options for Nevadans to purchase health care outside their businesses

@Really_Not_All_That_Bright

Oh, this is brilliant:

So…does that mean small businesses should band together to buy bigger chickens to trade to doctors to cover their employees?

that would be a poultry excuse of a healthcare system

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

It means the legislature must work to ensure that attorney’s fees and punitive damages are limited in poultry-related lawsuits.
