More hilarity today from Massachusetts Republicans floundering for talking points while their leader campaigns in Baghdad and Kabul. While progressives debate issues like jobs, energy and the environment, the focus for the moment in Beverly is prisoners growing breasts. “[W]e’ve already been paying for a convicted murderer to grow breasts,” red-faced outrageophiles Hub Politics wrote on 30 May, referring to a lawsuit by a federal prisoner for a sex-change operation. âI strongly oppose using taxpayer dollars to fund a sex-change operation for any prisoner, but especially a convicted murderer,â Kerry Healey thundered the next day. Today, this subject has somehow been connected to stem cell research, with the regressives apparently squarely against book learnin’. My questions are whether Healey is taking the position that privately financed sex change operations for prisoners are acceptable, and why murderers especially, in her view, should be denied sex change operations.
I am officially awarding you with “Best BMG Headline” of the year. Every time I see it I chuckle because it just seems to capture things so perfectly.
But there it is. Thank goodness we have a pinata like Hub Politics filled with candy.
