Uterus, Uterus, Uterus, Uterus, Uterus!

[Howey]

Shame on you, potty mouth Democrat!

I'm afraid if a Florida House Page doesn't know what the word means, he better get edumacated real quick!

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.

They told Democrats that Randolph is not to discuss body parts on the House floor.

"The point was that Republicans are always talking about deregulation and big government," Randolph said Thursday. "And I always say their philosophy is small government for the big guy and big government for the little guy. And so, if my wife's uterus was incorporated or my friend's bedroom was incorporated, maybe they (Republicans) would be talking about deregulating.

"It's not like I used slang," said Randolph, who actually got the line from his wife. He said Republicans voiced concern about young pages hearing the word uterus.

"I think it's a sad commentary about what we think about sex education in the state," he said.

House GOP spokeswoman Katie Betta: "The Speaker has been clear about his expectations for conduct on the House for during debate. At one point during the debate, he mentioned to the entire House that members of both parties needed to be mindful of decorum during debate.

"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."

Oy...

This issue, until we're extinct as a species, will never be resolved.

I think the 2000 election pretty much wrapped that one up. As organs go, I don't really find the word uterus to be that gross or certainly not inappropriate. Could it be this? Maybe people intellectualize it to the point that the whole subject is almost abstract. When an actual organ is mentioned in the process, it becomes too real. Don't answer now, just think about it .

I dunno why they did that unless it was necessary for pimping themselves on the FB hook up, changing the addy. If you c/p the address in the bar and then take away the some of the crap it still embeds.

I normally just click on "Share". Can you explain what you said above in English?

lol The address bar located conveniently on the top of the page will yield the same result as the previous SHARE used to. Sometimes all you have to do is copy and paste it as is. Other times it may be necessary to eliminate the end part that I mentioned. In the example that I grabbed at random IT WAS NOT necessary to take any of the addy away. Another way of doing it is to compare the length of a known link that embeds. By looking at them with the good one on top you can see what if anything needs to be taken away.
