A BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT NEWS ALERT

We first came across the "mail panties to John Boehner until he cries and stops trying to defund Planned Parenthood" campaign when we saw this entry on Facebook:

Mail a Million Panties to John Boehner for Women's Reproductive Rights is going viral. Check it out on Facebook. I bought undies today and mailed them. They are white with BLACK hearts. Men can send underwear, too. They must be clean.This is a "mass piece of performance art" according to the site. Speaker of the House, John Boehner, H-232 The Capitol, Washington DC 20515

Then we found this article about the origin of the campaign on MyNorthwest.com. It attributes the idea to New Orleans artist Linda Morgan Smith, who explained:

1. buy new undies?

obviously women might do that...I'd just turn an old pair inside out and send 'em as is and unwashed!

2. He'll probably get off on it

not my thing - sounds too much like an Engelbert Humperdink concert

8. My though exactly! Eeeewwww.

He's not worthy of my panties.

3. Keep your Boehner out of my uterus!

Panties with that image and saying would be perfect! CafePress, anyone?!

11. The Boehner isn't that big!

The penetration would probably not get past the pubic hair.

4. They have to be clean? How the hell

can they tell if they're dirty or clean until they open the package?

Would they really freak out if someone happened to send a pair smeared with melted chocolate?

:evilgrin:

5. Can I marinate them in the cat pan for a few days first?

:evilgrin:

7. I don't have any panties but I guess I could send him a pair of jockeys

I ran out of toilet paper one day last week and I think I have just the pair for him.

10. Try to get some granny panties -- don't send him good underwear

Mr. Drunky Poo doesn't need to be given good underwear that he can joke about.
