When discussing why he couldn't get behind the Medicaid expansion in Obamacare, Maine House Minority Leader Ken Fredette made quite the statement, saying the following:
"As I listen to the debate today and earlier debate on this bill, I can't help but think of a title of a book, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. And it's a book about the fact that men sort of think one way in their own brain, in their own world. And women think another way in their own brain and in their own world. And it really talks about the way that men and women can do a better job at communicating. Because if you listen to the debate today, in my mind - a man's mind - I hear two fundamental issues. From the other side of the aisle, I hear the conversation being about: free, 'This is free, we need to take it, and it's free. And we need to do it now.' And that's the fundamental message that my brain receives. Now, my brain, being a man's brain, sort of thinks differently, because I say, well it's not - if it's free, is it really free? Because I say, in my brain, there's a cost to this."
So, what is it Mr. Numnuts (Fredette) is implying? That like with men and women having a different thought-process, so too do Republicans (men) and Democrats (women)? ...and that men (Republicans) are more rational thinkers than women (Democrats), especially when it comes to money? Was Mr. Douche (Fredette) always this smooth with women? Here are some pick-up lines I imagine the Maine House Minority Leader has uttered to the opposite sex at one point in his life or another:
- "Hi, I'm Ken. Can I buy you a drink? What would you like? Okay. Bartender, that will be two Bud Lights - one for the small-brained lady over here and one for yours truly. Thanks."
- "I think it should be required by law for all women to have the middle name Sh*tforbrains. So, are you married?"
- "I don't understand feminists. Women have smaller brains - period. End of story. It's science. It's in the Bible. The end. Oh, by the way, I'm Ken. Is this seat taken?"
- "Do you remember that cartoon Pinky and the Brain? Yeah, I liked that too. Anyway, I just started thinking about it the other day. They should update the series and call it Woman and the Man. Get it? Because, we have brains and you don't. Why aren't you laughing? I was going to ask what you liked doing for fun, but the answer to that is nothing apparently."
- "I bet you I can guess your bra size - 36DD, right? My brain is bigger than those. Guess what size my bra is. That's right - I don't wear one. ...and guess what? My boobs are bigger than your brain. Wait, where are you going? Can I call you sometime?"
Yes, Mr. Fredette appears to be that smooth, not to mention intelligent. Humorously enough, Maine People's Alliance Health Care Organizer Jennie Pirkl is on the record saying, "Even the conservative Heritage Foundation admits that accepting federal care funding will save the state $690 million over the next decade while providing health care coverage for 70,000 more Maine people."
What was Mr. Fredette saying about his superior man's brain again?
Scarecrow, take it away for Mr. Fredette - "If I only had a brain..."
