NRSC: Dems ‘Try To Inject Farm Animals’ Into NV-SEN With Attacks On Lowden’s Chicken Comments [TPM]
I hope the DNC is hiring a guy to come to all of her campaign events in a chicken costume.
@SanFranLefty: The local jazz station interviewed the Sandy Eggo Chicken on their public-access show over the weekend. Perhaps he could show up. Given that he’s been doing that shtick for thirty years, he probably could use the healthcare.
Only the NRSC could whine about other people “injecting farm animals” into a discussion whilst ignoring the box-turtle-marrying and horse-fucking going on in their own party. Unbelievable.
Aw, they’ve already flagged the chicken for removal.
He wants to get this done before HCR kicks in and he’s eligible for insurance? He’d better get on the brain transplant list too.
@Original Andrew: No, no, it’s live satire. He’s keeping his chickens to himself.
What if the surgeon is a vegetarian?
Will he/she take soy instead?
Does it have to be animals? If the doc is a female doc can I barter sexual favors?
I traded no live stock to pay for my recent bowel/bladder surgery.
@ManchuCandidate: Quiet, you. Obviously your Canukistani money and health insurance is no good here.
Speaking of which, how’s that working out for you? Still, uh, effusive?
@Tommmcatt Loves The Giant Floating Head:
Nope. Mount Manchu has stopped erupting on a constant basis. Now “normal.” Just have low energy (but getting better.)
I’m working 1/2 days right now and next week 3/4 days.
@ManchuCandidate: Woot! Sounds like good progress. Glad to hear it.
is that chicken’s name JOE ??
