Spencer Bachus' Career-Defining Dumbass Comment

[Phaedrus]

"These sites specifically target preteen-age children. They're becoming addicted to it, and they turn to crime...If dogs, cats, rabbits, any animal--if they protect their youth, at least we can rise to that level and protect the youth of our country."

So tell me, BHB, MegaSB and other books who are here on the Rx, can you give me an approximate figure for the percentage of your players who are "pre-teenage children?" What sort of postup bonuses do they get? X-Box gift certificates? Do you have an annual promotion to give away a Harry Potter DVD boxed set?

No wonder the neighbours' kid has been trying to mow my lawn twice a week. He needs money for his offshore monkey. Frankly, the lawn's never looked better, and the pool is positively sparkling.

Thanks!

That byte of warped and asanine logic is an insult to the people of Alabama who elected him and also to the state reps who sit in session alongside of him. I cringed when I heard the above statement he made. What a farce some of thes pols are.

Barney Frank (D Mass) said it best while voicing his concern for government over-regulation . "I don't gamble, but if other people want to, mind your own business. There are a lot of people who do things in excess that we do in moderation. Leave people alone!"

Frank added that while he believes in his opponents' concern for children, he also believes that "they are restricting the personal choice of adults".
