In case you’re forgetten Virginia Foxx, I’ve compiled some of her greatest hits.
Here’s Virginia Foxx on the floor of the House of Representatives discussing the “hoax,” as she called it, of naming the Hate Crimes bill for Matthew Shepard, since according to her there was no hate crime committed, just a simple robbery.
The truly odious part of Virginia Foxx’s dismissal of Matthew Shepard’s murder was that his mother, Judy Shepard, was in the House gallery at the time of Congresswoman Foxx’s statement. Matthew’s mother heard a member of Congress further the hate crime committed against her son.
First elected in 2004, Virginia Foxx made her early mark as one of the *eleven* members of Congress to vote to deny aid to Katrina victims in September 2005, while folks were still waiting to be rescued from the Superdome.
Doc Foxx is a death-panelist: during debate on the Affordable Care Act, in July 2009, she raised the spectre not only of pulling the plug on gramps but of actively euthanizing him:
“Republicans have a better solution that won’t put the government in charge of people’s health care,” she said. “(The plan) is pro-life because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to death by their government.”
Foxx said it worries her where that portion of the bill could lead, since physician-assisted suicide is legal in some states.
“I would like to see an amendment to the bill similar to the abortion exclusion that simply says no taxpayer funds should be used for euthanasia and no government rules should mandate euthanasia coverage,” she said.
Later that year, she claimed that passing health care reform was a greater threat to the United States than any terrorist.
“I believe that the greatest fear that we all should have to our freedom comes from this room — this very room — and what may happen later this week in terms of a tax increase bill masquerading as a health care bill,” Foxx said this afternoon.
“I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country,” she added.
In the first 90 seconds of her floor speech, Doc Foxx uses some form of the word “fear” or “frightened” ten times.
So, when you hear Crazy-Eyes Bachmann rail about her ‘disappointment‘ over The Boehn’s budget deal, remember: there’s some fear-mongering crazy right alongside the Tan Man.
Virginia Foxx is who Boehner wanted at his side and, as you can see in short video atop this post, not even Eric Cantor’s blinding ambition to be in the spotlight stopped her from showing her face right alongside the Speaker.
And Boehner wanted it that way, you can be very sure. As Doc Foxx said herself, taking W’s malapropism right through the looking glass, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on you!”
Shame is something Virginia Foxx knows about, firsthand. Ask Judy Shepard.
When you hear people say that no one is happy with this deal, because everyone had to compromise and every side had to give up something to get there, remember this: Virginia Foxx is plenty happy — she’s happy enough to muscle her way into camera range when the Speaker announces the deal. And the Speaker of the House is plenty happy to have this hateful extremist bigot right there alongside him.

My.Eyes!
Such a textbook example of the gigantically stupid branch of the GOP (as opposed to the willfully dreadful branch), Miss Ginny has to butt in line, too?
Teddy!
Teddy!
Typically Republican move of setting the Foxx to guard the hen house. Seems like they are throwing some red meat to the ravening mob they call their base.
Virginia Foxx is the Queen of the Damned. I don’t have a name sufficiently vile to call her that wouldn’t get me moderated.
that evil —t will surely give me nightmares from Boschs hell
Something tells me it ain’t the hummers.
the Goopers at a tea party
http://www.terminartors.com/artworkprofile/Bosch_Hieronymus-The_Garden_of_Earthly_Delights_centre_panel
Now I am going to have nightmares all week from that image.
Sorry!
Had some connectivity issues this evening, how is everyone doing!
by the by…the then KIng of Spain kept the painting in his bedroom
and BHO is about to take a scalpel to us all
Yes, everyone focused on The Boehn’s brief statement, but I like the jostling for position before he started talking best of all. Sure wish the camera hadn’t narrowed the field, I’d have liked to see Foxx dig a pointy heel into Cantor’s Gucci-clad instep.
Yeah, it’s almost as if Boehner knew Bachmann was gonna be — wait, what’s the politically correct way to type “off the reservation” nowadays?
No way am I clicking that link. It would probably make Darkblack look happy and shiny.
People get all bent outta shape over Jean Schmidt and her hideous visage and policies, but I always say to them, “Really? Have you heard or seen Doc Foxx?”
i betcha she doesnt use deoderant either
Oh, jeebus, a hummer from that snaggle-toothed pinhead? Brings new meaning to “Blow me… with teef.”
Says things about the King that I would have suspected, but really did not want to know.
what in the hell is she a dr of?
Speaking of which: did you know Helen Mirren was in the orgy scene in “Caligula?”
lol
hahahahahahahaha
I wonder if she gives him a Boehner?
the movie?
It’s not as bad as you’d think – it isn’t one of Bosch’s pictures of Hell. It’s certainly strange, though.
Why is she wearing football pads under her suit jacket?
yes folks they are debauched playing with dead feti,and torturing old people
I didn’t know Helen Mirren dated
toin the Roman period.Certainly not something that I would want in my bedroom.
to man up?
How sad the Orange One needs a woman’s skirt to hide behind I guess the Tea Baggers are being mean!
it is hell…garden of earthly delights (the triptych) middle panel
Funny, that’s the same question they used to ask Mengele.
Aloha, Teddy…! Ms. Foxx is a real piece of work…! 8-(
It’s sad to know that there’s too many Congressional Districts out there that’ll elect and re-elect these scuzz-buckets, Bachmann being another notable scumbag…!
Education, per her website.
teddy! fox gives grannies a bad name
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caligula_(film)
glad i didnt see it….1Claudius was bad enuf
Yes.
now that is TRULY scary…teacher from hellllllllllllllllllllll

She was in Caligula

dont start toni………..well go ahead……..g
Foxx is the exception that proves the sweetness rule, suz.
She gives foxes a bad name, worse than Rupert.
okay berp…..ROTF
*heh* You more than off-set it now, M’dear…! Congrats, btw…! *g*
She had a fine opponent in Billy Kennedy last time around, too. I hope he takes another run at it. Probably he’d give us as many Blue Dog headaches as Heath Schuler once elected, but it would be worth it just to rid the polity of her.
I’ll never ever forgive her for what she did to Judy Shepard. Ever.
Foxx is vile scum.
x2…mwah!
32 posts, and we have a Godwin violation, repeat, we have a Godwin violation!
That’s what the linky was to: the center panel. The other two are also very strange. (Left is Eden, right is Hell). Makes you wonder what Bosch was using….
thanks folks — don’t wanna hijack teddy’s post with my new grammyhood — can we talk about it during tut’s lln post tonight?
Actually, Murdoch named the network after her. (He left an X off because he didn’t want any bleed-off from the Playboy Channel.)
Hey Suz! Congratulations to you and Jen and Dad of course!
Any bets the Orange One traded Virginia Foxx a later vote on a bill or two she wants? What are her top causes the GOP leadership would never give her a vote on because it would spook Moderate voters?
If Virginia Foxx brings in some Tea Baggers to support the Orange One then the Orange One will likely have to get an equal amount of votes to support her bills.
I am afraid to research what she really wants/hates the most.
Sounds good to me…! ;-)
okay couldnt figure out which one was Helen
Congrats! When was it born? My oldest grandson just turned 15 on Thursday and a younger friend just had his first child last night.
prolly!
you have to see her
Woo-hoo…! The better half is home, safe and sound, from her women’s camp over this weekend on Oahu…! See ya’ll at lln…! *g*
Basically, she seems to want poor people dead and a gay man on every barbed-wire fence. And those are probably her more moderate positions.
okay ill stop

good nite CT…be good!
is someone born loathsome like her,was she ever an innocent baby? one wonders
details over at my place dr dick — she was born yesterday morning
Oh, I think this is the granny post.
How are you doing? Is the little one spoiled rotten yet?
A fast drive by on the way to bed – yes, I noticed that, that person there. And wondered what it meant.
Glad you pointed it out. Whatevver it means, it can’t be good. She’s a giant symbol of all that is wrong with our government, especially Congress.
What a lovely addition to a lovely family.
sorry teddy — didn’t want to hijack your thread. i didn’t see her today because jen said she’s still in the hospital and to come to her house tomorrow when i will be needed.
tomorrow — let the spoiling begin bwa-hahahaha
thanks dr dick
More of a giant symbol of what is wrong with the human race.
If there was any one to use the C word to describe it is so called Dr Foxx.. a poor example of a caring human being..
Teddy!!
amen
Doc Foxx is head of the Higher Education Subcommittee, and has her PhD from the University of Greensboro. I lived in Greensboro once, and I can’t say I heard of it.
Suz my neighbor had her baby girl yesterday also!! Her name is Nora not sure what time or particulars but W00T for all the new ladies who have just came into the world to bless us with their presence…
She IS contagious.
sounds like Liberty U,which is federally funded and recieves more $$$ than NPR i shit U not
It is the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
to make up for the heartless fraudster bitches out there
i’m so glad doc foxx wasn’t my mom
the really sick thing is she prolly has many followers of her vile evil thinking/teaching there in goopervilleNC
does she have any kids ,bet not
Would probably eat her young.
Oh, I’ve heard of that. I guess WaPo is still not to be relied on.
i wont click her site,but i remember Olympia Snow doesnt either
For their sake I hope they were all still born…
Time for me to toddle off. The corrupting resumes tomorrow. Take care all.
nite dic doc
she is from the Bronx…….has a daughter poor thang,and she lives within 200 miles of me @#$%^&*I(!!!!
Congrats x a million Granny Suzanne!
g’nite dr dick
Trojan Condom Obama, Whiny Harry Reid and the Blue Dog/New Democrats with phony progressives in tow are fully prepared to meet all of Doc Foxx’s demands. Its all planned and coordinated. Give half a loaf now and the other half later.
We’re well on our way.
Unfortunately, the odious Foxx has a lot to smile about.
Suz if it wasnt for Julianna Renee,Virgina would give me nightmares…good nite and bless all
Yes, she does indeed.
I can’t wait for this midweek speech of Obama’s about reforming entitlements.
thanks sadly — g’nite
After seeing his dismal display Friday night, I will likely read instead… something with comparative substance.
Is Mad Magazine still being published?
All of which goes to prove my mother’s old advice: if there’s something you don’t like about yourself, change it now. ‘Cause in ten years it’ll be worse.
Foxx is a disgrace to grandmothers everywhere. (Is she a grandmother? Can’t imagine she has ever offered any child a shoulder to cry on, a sympathetic ear, or even a warm batch of cookies. The woman’s mean spiritedness is terrifying.)
Excellent motherly advice you got.
Taking inventory now….
CTuttle is upstairs!
Late, Late Night FDL: You Don’t Know How It Feels
It says something very depressing and hopeless about our country that such creatures actually get elected.
I wish these people would just go away.
It would probably start a civil war, but balance the budget in her district. They voted for her and must want reduced spending, so how can they complain.
Ginny is one bigoted old biddy and seems proud of it.
The Democratic and Republican Party no longer serve the interests of the American people. To begin to take the country back, some politician needs to run on these (beyond left vs. right) ideas and WIN.
1. End Political Corruption – enact the Fair Elections Now Act. Strictly voluntary. Matching funds. $100.00 maximum donation. Ban politicians from becoming lobbyists
2. End The Wars – (another form of corporate welfare). Immediately pull out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen
3. Put Millions Back To Work – Federal government invest $2 trillion over 10 years through a national infrastructure bank (run by engineers, not politicians) to create jobs now and increase productivity later. Fund with a millionaire’s tax
4. Balance The Budget – over time by cutting the defense budget, end agricultural subsidies, stop corporate welfare, raise taxes on the super-rich, contain the explosion of health-care costs by adding the public option, allow Medicare to purchase drugs, give MEDPAC wider authority and allow drug re-importation
5. End National Addiction To Oil – begin with a carbon tax to reduce consumption, increase energy efficiency and make alternative energy more cost-competitive. Revenues generated should go to reducing payroll taxes to stimulate employment
6. Keep Social Security Solvent For Generations – raise the ceiling on income subject to the Social Security tax to $180,000. Congress could gradually slow the growth of benefits for middle and high earners while still allowing these benefits to rise in terms of absolute dollars and purchasing power. Lower-wage earners would receive everything they are now promised. Eliminate $4.8 trillion long-term deficit
7. End Bank Monopoly – break up the big banks, strengthen the Volker Rule, end the foreclosure crisis by giving bankruptcy judges the power to order reductions in mortgage principal owed
8. Encourage Upward Mobility In Society – make higher education free to families that can’t afford it. Fund with a financial transactions and bank tax
Helen Mirren For President!
