"As a former child, I respect very much what we are endeavoring to accomplish today, but we always have to remember that it is not simply enough to do the right thing; we must do the right thing the right way. And, again, that is the purpose of this debate. Much of what we hear outside of these walls tends to mute the serious discussion that we have. I know that following this debate there will be those ads, or others, that will say that Republicans do not like kids. I assure you: Republicans like kids—and not just medium rare with a side of fries."
More SCHIP Wackiness
Here's another GOP charmer on the floor of the House during the SCHIP debate yesterday: "Former Child" Rep. Thad McCotter (R-MI) makes a joke about how Republicans like kids—"and not just medium rare with a side of fries." Might be funnier if we all weren't painfully aware of the frighteningly enormous number of Republicans who really do "like kids" in another way.
