Rep. Chris Smith, the Rapist’s Friend, Doesn’t Want to Talk About Rape
When you call Chris Smith’s office and ask the objectively pro-rape representative’s staff what methods are best for raping a woman so she’s forced to keep the baby, expect that someone will tell you your questions are inappropriate:
For years, federal laws restricting the use of government funds to pay for abortions have included exemptions for [...]
Bob Casey’s Office: “the Wealthy Create Jobs, so they Deserve a Tax Cut.”
That is what Senator Casey’s office told me when he voted to extend tax cuts for rich in exchange for 13 months more unemployment for those already receiving it (but of course nothing for those who’ve exhausted their 99 weeks: Senator Casey’s office would presumably prefer that those people and their kids curl up and [...]

Susie Slaps Axelrod
Susie Madrak kicks ass:
Top Obama adviser David Axelrod got an earful of the liberal blogosphere’s anger at the White House moments ago, when a blogger on a conference call directly called out Axelrod over White House criticism of the left, accusing the administration of “hippie punching.”

Riiiing…Riiiiing
“Hello, Senator Schumer’s office.”

Psychotic call from Dominic Pileggi’s Office? (UPDATED)
UPDATED BELOW
Last week, I made a bunch of phone calls to Dominic “Satan” Pileggi’s office, as well as to my own legislators.
