Sociopaths
What the fuck is it with Louisiana politicians? First it was Jindal and volcano monitoring, and now:
Given the recent outbreak of swine flu, Sen. Susan Collins’s (R-ME) push to strip funding for pandemic flu preparedness is looking increasingly shortsighted. But Collins was not the first to campaign against the provision. Indeed, several days prior to Collins’s public push, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) introduced an amendment that would have stripped, among other things, the flu funding provision. In arguing for his amendment on the floor of the senate, Vitter apparently couldn’t fathom how pandemic preparedness could possibly serve to protect the economy, calling it part of a “laundry list of…big government spending items.”
What a fucking idiot.
Stormy warning for after the jump.
That’s why Louisiana needs Stormy in the Senate.

I predict that before this is all over, Susan Collins is going to be wishing she hadn’t made such a big deal of killing off flu pandemic monitoring funds on her own, damned website!
Way to go, GOP douchebags.
Here’s a word of advice: when your party is predicated upon the notion that you must oppose everything Obama proposes, don’t be surprised when something he proposed and you killed proves to be very necessary indeed.
It’s funny: the GOP is chomping at the bit, waiting with baited breath for anything resembling another terrorist attack on the homeland so they can claim that Obama crippled our intelligence agencies by releasing the torture memos, and yet instead what we get is a flu pandemic right in the wake of GOP opposition to funding to protect us against flu pandemics.
The GOP isn’t just the “party of no.” They’re the “party of no brains”, “the party of no shame” and the “party of no luck.”
And, oh yeah, the only problem with Stormy being the next Senator from Louisiana is that would mean she can’t be the next senator from Maryland.
