Wonderland Burlesque’s Turdscooter of the Week: Governor Rick Scott


Wonderland Burlesque’s 
Turdscooter of the Week: 
Governor Rick Scott

I always knew that Rick Scott would eventually shoot himself in the foot… and then turn to the Federal government demanding they pay his medical bills. 

Quite frankly, that foot should have been firmly wedged in his mouth (though I can think of another orifice of his I’d like to see a foot up as well).

But enough about my fantasy life…

Let’s take a look at the fantasy Governor Scott is trying to sell the courts of this nation and the citizens of Florida!

After opting out of Obamacare and the expansion of Medicaid (and being very vocal about it) and fighting it tooth and nail by passing numerous laws to make it difficult to impossible to implement any portion of The Affordable Care Act, Rick and Floridians find themselves coming up a little short this year.

You see, there used to be something called LIP (Lower Income Pool) that took care of all the healthcare that hospitals provide to the uninsured.  Well, that Federally-funded program is due to go away soon.  Rick Scott was well aware of this, yet chose to put together a state budget which pretended that was not the case.

But, it so is the case.

Now, he and Florida are looking at a bit of a short-fall.

And rather than admit he has been a total tool and fiscally irresponsible, Rick the Prick has  the nerve to file suit against the Federal Government claiming that by taking away LIP the government is effectively trying to coerce him and the state of Florida into participating in The Affordable Care Act. 

Huh?

Just what kind of reality does Governor Scott live in? 

As a Republican, is he saying that it is better to take a Federal Government handout – health care welfare - rather than participate in a program meant to reform the health care system by giving people their own health insurance?  And when that Federal welfare goes away… rather than plan for that inevitability, you ignore reality and then turn around and sue?

Wow. 

That is some convoluted thinking there. 

Or…

Rick Scott is sly as a fox and knows exactly what he is doing: by doing an end around in order to get a court to proclaim The Affordable Care Act unconstitutional.

Either way…

… the man is a total asshat.

So, let’s all unsheathe our feet and point them in the direction of Florida as a means of saluting Wonderland Burlesque’s Turdscooter of the Week: Governor Rick Scott.

Rick? 

That hole in your foot? 

That’s all on you, buddy.

Wonderland Burlesque’s Turdscooters of the Week: SCOTUS Conservative Five: Justices Alito, Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, and Kennedy


Wonderland Burlesque’s Turdscooters of the Week - SCOTUS Conservative Five:
Justices Alito, Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, and Kennedy

Oh, boy.  The halls of The Supreme Court Building must be slick with skid marks today. The good old boys club of the Supreme Court took a swipe at both reproductive rights and Obamacare today.  

And I have to say… I am surprised, although, perhaps I shouldn’t be.

From the Huffington Post:  “In an opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito, the court ruled in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores and Conestoga Wood Specialties v. Burwell that the Obama administration has failed to show that the contraception mandate contained in the Affordable Care Act is the "least restrictive means of advancing its interest" in providing birth control at no cost to women.”

Now, one would have thought that the Justices would have been looking down the road to the future and keeping the big picture in mind, but no.

For, despite the fact that the decision was written narrowly so that it only applies to contraception, it will still open the floodgates to a tsunami of lawsuits.  Yes, most of of those lawsuits will be dismissed in lower courts, but I guarantee you that inevitability will not deter the stupidity from occurring, tying up our courts for a full decade.  

Basically, if you feel something in Obamacare infringes upon your religious rights, as an employer, you do not have to provide it – and that’s the gist most looking for an out will take away from today’s ruling.  And I'm not alone in thinking that way.

"The Court, I fear, has ventured into a minefield..." - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, dissenting in Hobby Lobby

Oh, and here's a bit of logic that flies in the face of reality:

More from Huffington Post: “Some of the court's conservative-leaning justices asked why the Obama administration had granted religious accommodations to any organizations if the contraception mandate was so critical to public health. “It must have been because the health care coverage was not that important," said Justice Anthony Kennedy…

Apparently contraception is not considered a necessary part of a woman’s healthcare plan – but then five very out of touch old men (with dirty butts) made this decision, so I should not have expected any other outcome.

Let’s all offer our well-deserved congratulations to Wonderland Burlesque’s Turdscooters of the Week: SCOTUS Conservative Five: Justices Alito, Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, and Kennedy
