From The Mouths Of Babes, Or Whatever • Congressman John Sheddeg (R-AZ) brought a baby onto the House floor to argue against health care reform. Very professional and respectful. Not a ridiculous clown show over there at all.

Rip Torn's eyes would barely open and his face was a ravaged, haggard, stubbly mess. His chapped lips stuck together, and the pavement had left a red, mottled impression against his cheek. He looked around blearily, barely able to focus...

That's awesome how opinionated that baby is; it's funny that spouting general ridiculousness becomes so much easier when holding a baby... or a puppet.

Maddie also believes that President Obama is actually a V alien. Not Rep. Sheddeg, though!

i think they really could have drove the point home if they had the baby sitting on a 3000 page bill that was printed on one side of the paper, double-spaced, in a 16pt font size.

How does that prove your point? And what nutjob let a congressman borrow a baby? Every day, the prophecy of Mike Judge’s Idiocracy comes closer to being true.

I'd be more than happy to buy my own insurance, except, insurance companies don't want my money because II have a little something called a pre-existing condition. So, Shadegg, why don't you talk to the insurance companies aka death panels about making sure people who want to pay for their insurance, are fully covered.

Can't wait until they start trying to top each other. "Each one of these chainsaws I'm juggling represents part of our health care etc etc."

The main problem here is not that a lawmaker with an important vote that could help decide the future of our country for better or worse brought an infant onto the floor of congress and pretended the baby had an opinion on health care and that that opinion matters because it's a baby and babies are cute, the main problem here is that people voted for him because they believed he was the best choice to represent their state. Way to go, America. This makes me so angry is all.

Let's not kid ourselves here. Mattie doesn't care about anything other than that squishy thing on a stick they placed in front of her, and the possibility that it might absolutely taste delicious in her face.

"Maddie is against health care reform. She loves America." No, Maddie is not against health care reform. In fact, she doesn't have an opinion on it at all. She is a baby. She also doesn't love America. America is too abstract of a concept for her to love. She loves her mom and that microphone stick. That is all.
Score = 7
I'm not credible enough to make a case for my own viewpoint, so I need to find someone with more experience, subject matter expertise and valid opinions than I. I'll go with... an infant!

Also, her mom's taxes are going to go up $730 billion? Wow. Now that you phrase it like that, Maddie. I can't not go along with this.
