Wendy was going on about how the sonogram law. She was trying to show that with the current bill plus the previous law is very detrimental to women, multiple visits to a doctor, etc. Senator Donna Campbell (R-Moron) called a point on it. Anywho then Dewhurst ruled against Wendy, so it was her third strike.

isn't it.

It makes me ashamed of women when someone like Donna Campbell helps run interference for and with the men. May she get handed a pink slip when her term is over!

So, this is a scam by the republicants. Notice if they were filibustering they would bring up all kinds of crap and get away with it!

I certainly hope we can rid ourselves of these meddlesome hicks.

In my opinion these hicks are practicing medicine without licenses. If we were to pretend to be doctors we would probably face charges of criminal misconduct.

However, I knew they would call the cops to have them ejected out of the building.

But WENDY WENDY WENDY

And: SHAME SHAME SHAME

Plus the cheering and clapping made my day.

I also noticed that dewhurst was called back in. They are definitely cowards the whole lot of 'em t'baggers.

I wish Wendy was my Senator. I do know her though, and have heard her a number of times at campaign rallies.

Did you go to the Victory Party in November? I was there after the polls closed and took my Obama campaign yard sign with me. Several people borrowed it to have their pics taken with it. What a night!

I wish I had though. I just checked the map, if I moved a mile or so I'd be in her district. Such is life.
