Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

So this lady with no legs is running for Congress

Tammy Duckworth is running for Congress in Illinois. You've probably heard about her, she is the one that got her legs chopped off when her Blackhawk helicopter was shot down in Iraq. (I don't like to say someone lost their legs...I mean it's pretty hard to 'lose' them).

Tammy gave the Democrats weekly radio address and ripped Bush a new asshole to go with the 50 other ones he's got. "My helicopter was shot down long after you proclaimed 'mission accomplished,'" she said. Duckworth also lashed out at Congress for not holding the administration accountable.

She was endorsed by Wes Clark... I've been following her for a while now. We need more vets up there.
