Here comes today’s outrage from the right wingers. During a lead in, in which Chuck Todd thought the cameras were off, he get’s caught flipping that notorious middle finger. This was captured by the wingnut site NewsBusters and has this added commentary: Will there be repercussions for Todd? Stay tuned. Even on the YouTube NewsBusters […]
In 2007 Rick Perry signed an executive order in Texas requiring all public school girls to get the vaccine Gardasil, which protects against the sexually transmitted disease HPV.
