File this Congresswoman under, "I'm from your gummerment and I'm here to humm you...."
Dems to USA: "If the dentures don't fit, you must submit!"
Louise Slaughter just slays us with this whip-out of the crying towel: "You will not believe this and I know you won't, but it's true. Her sister died. This poor woman had no dentures. She wore her dead sister's teeth, which of course were uncomfortable and did not fit."
No! InCONceivable! Just think of it! Something clearly must be done to fill the missile denture gap in America! Otherwise we might gum the economy to death instead of just talking the country into a stupor with Congressional soundgums like Slaughter's.
Jeeze Louise, you're right. We don't believe it. And even if it were true there's two fixes that require less than two trillion dollars. 1) Get this deranged dead-sister's teeth wearing soul on anti-psychotic medication and advanced oral hygiene, STAT! 2) Reform Medicare to provide dentures to those whose sisters have died indenturate.

The slippery slope begins towards indentured servitude.

Posted by: Ricky Raccoon at February 25, 2010 1:12 PMNo wonder Jesus described hell as a place where "there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 13:42).

The sister for wearing the teeth, and the Congresswoman for relating the story to the world.
Actually I read one poster who wrote "Isn't this an example of great recycling ".

Posted by: WWWebb at February 26, 2010 7:02 AMObama's $500 billion-less Medicare 'death panel' wouldn't even stamp this old woman's car parking ticket much less pay for a new set of chops.
Posted by: Shooter1001 at February 26, 2010 9:30 AMAnother laugh: No one -- not even one Dem congressman or woman -- is suggesting that dental care would be covered under Obamacare.
Posted by: James at February 26, 2010 11:08 AMI wonder if her office offered to contact state and local social services and state and local charities to get this woman some help?
Or would that be a bad question to ask during 'sob-story telling time'?

Posted by: Aquila at February 26, 2010 1:00 PMOf course Slaughter, whose estimated 2008 net worth was between $1 Million and $2.3 Million, couldn't be bothered to give the toothless woman a couple hundred bucks to get some new pearlies, assuming this story is true (and it reeks of fakery.) It seems Nancy Pelosi (2008 Net worth between $33 million and $95 million) couldn't find it in her bleeding heart to help out either.
To put it another way, as someone once said, "I've never met a communist who was nice to their maid."

can you please spare some toilet paper ?
