At least he's not OUR patient-impregnating, abortion-urging hypocrite Tea Party Congressman

  • 17 Comments

(At least he’s not my doctor! – promoted by ProgressiveCowgirl)

The latest example of the Republican Party’s, um, problem with women: freshman Rep. Dr. Scott DesJarlais from Tennessee, who is now facing an audio tape that HE HIMSELF recorded in which he argues with a patient whom he impregnated while cheating on his then wife.

Styling himself a strict pro-life, family-values candidate, in the tape Dr. DesJarlais can be heard bickering with the woman, trying to get her to have an abortion before she’s too far along with her pregnancy. She asks if he’ll at least accompany her to the abortion, and he complains that he doesn’t have time but will “try” to.

DesJarlais’ response to the charges is to complain about his opponent’s “personal attacks,” yet his own campaign has already tried to make hay about his opponent’s alleged tax return irregularities.

  2. … or something.

    Our own Canines posted this on today’s Etch-a-Sketch thread:

    “I’m very proud to have the support of such a principled and independent conservative as Scott DesJarlais,” said Mitt Romney. “In his time in Congress, Scott has been a real leader for balancing the budget, lowering taxes, and scaling back the size of government. I look forward to working with Scott to spread that kind of conservative message across the Volunteer State as we work to restore America’s promise.”

    Yeah, uh huh, Mitt’s kind of guy.

  3. another republican dickhead named Scott.

    Are there ANY elected Democrats named Scott? I don’t want to develop a bias toward a name, but I honestly can’t think of one.  

  4. with danger that is).  Dude is still licensed to practice medicine.

    (But it is Tennessee, after all, so sleeping with a patient isn’t such a big deal, probably. . .)
