Finally, Someone Is Thinking Of The Children
Florida state representative Scott Randolph has been a naughty, naughty boy.
During last week’s discussion about a bill that would prohibit governments from deducting union dues from a worker’s paycheck, state Rep. Scott Randolph, D-Orlando, used his time during floor debate to argue that Republicans are against regulations — except when it comes to the little guys, or serves their specific interests.
At one point Randolph suggested that his wife “incorporate her uterus” to stop Republicans from pushing measures that would restrict abortions. Republicans, after all, wouldn’t want to further regulate a Florida business.
Apparently the GOP leadership of the House didn’t like the one-liner.
…
“Additionally, the Speaker believes it is important for all Members to be mindful of and respectful to visitors and guests, particularly the young pages and messengers who are seated in the chamber during debates. In the past, if the debate is going to contain language that would be considered inappropriate for children and other guests, the Speaker will make an announcement in advance, asking children and others who may be uncomfortable with the subject matter to leave the floor and gallery.”
Exactly! Icky girlie parts make some people really uncomfortable. We certainly don’t want Florida’s college students hearing anatomically correct names for body parts. We want them to keep believing babies are delivered by storks and are stored in women’s tummies.
Perhaps you can help out the Florida GOP. What are the politically acceptable terms that can be used in mixed company?

“incorporate her uterus” – great line.
I don’t think the GOP objects to young people hearing the word “uterus,” as much as hearing the concept that women have control over their own uterus.
Notice that the GOP did not address the underlying point about regulation, but instead tried to distract with the misdirected ad hominen.
I wonder how this is playing in kooky Florida.
Uterus = stork
Regulation of uterus = God’s will
Fetus = baby
I plan on registering my uterus as a lobbyist.
To be sang to: If I Only Had A Brain
Men would change the whole narration,
if they did the whole gestation,
and went through all the pain.
For them to weigh in is ludicrous,
cause they haven’t got a uterus,
and they fail to use their brain.
LOL! You are very clever, UI.
just sayin….. there is a “like you dont already use it to get what you want” joke all teed up. but im too classy for that.
I’m surprised the Dept. of Ec. Development has leaped on this idea…women could come to DE and incorporate their uterus, then take advantage of tax-free shopping!
Oh yeah, and my instant lyrics don’t count for anything, pandora?
I’m sorry, Skippertee. You always count with me! 😉
OK, pandora, I feel better now. Thank you.
Let’s all try to be a little bit mature here and use the proper terms for our respective naughty bits – “Woo-Woo” and “Winkie”.
