Animals / Politics Rep. Tom Rooney: Pythons Need to Be Stopped

Posted by Lindy West on Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 12:25 PM

GO BACK TO BURMA, FREELOADER.
  • GO BACK TO BURMA, FREELOADER.
Via Politico:

Today, Rooney is telling everyone who will listen (mainly those attending the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security hearing) about how these pythons are destructive killers and need to be stopped from entering our country.

Fucking pythons. Slithering into this country, taking jobs away from hardworking, warm-blooded Americans. Fucking legless assholes. Don't even speak English.

Snark aside, it's pretty scary to hear stories and see pictures from Florida about the damage escaped pythons are doing. And they could potentially adapt to the climate in a large portion of the U.S. Crikey!

I think Rep. Rooney is greatly exaggerating the threat posed by Pythons. To my knowledge, Mssrs. Cleese, Idle, Jones & Palin have never caused anywhere near the damage he's claiming, the death of one cheese shop owner, a giant extraterrestrial blancmange, and the horrible mutilation of one medieval knight notwithstanding.

Mr. Gilliam, on the other hand, based on "Tideland" alone poses a clear and present danger to the citizens of this country. Unfortunately, he also happens to BE a citizen of this country, so keeping him out of it may be somewhat problematic.

It's just transphobia, based on the damn lumberjack thing.
