Think Progress

A bad day for Jean Schmidt.

A bad day for Jean Schmidt.

Today on the Hill, Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) was seen “making a spectacle of herself when the unlucky lawmaker slipped and fell in what we’re told was vomit, in a bathroom in Cannon … ‘She made THE biggest scene in the hallway,’ says a staffer who escaped the, um, regurgitation. ‘It’s literally all down her back.’”

FLASHBACK:

The Ohio congresswoman who called Jack Murtha a “coward” says she “got a round of applause at a recent closed-door meeting” of House conservatives. She’s also received marriage proposals: “It’s amazing. There have been three marriage proposals and lots of dates. They think I’m a hottie,” she said.

    Is karma a beautiful thing?


  2. j.cro says:

    err, I meant to say, ISN’T karma a beautiful thing. Whoops.


  3. Zooey says:

    Awww, Mean Jean, ain’t karma a bitch?


  4. debkakes says:

    Slow news day? Please don’t post crap like this, TP! It’s poorly written and has no information at all. Who threw up? Why is it funnny/newsworthy that JS fell down in it? Ick and ewww and you’re better than this.

    Puddle-o-Vomit ? —Mean Jean feels at home

    Think Progress was founded by John Podesta, right?

    Karma is a b!tch ain’t it Mean Jean? It isn’t always instant. Sometimes it creeps up under you shoe and makes you fall in yucky stuff.

    Ha ha.


  8. Jake says:

    “Karma” is just a word, like “love” — what matters is the connection the word implies.


  9. Spudge_Boy says:

    Think Progress was founded by John Podesta, right?

    Nope and I am not sure what that has to do with Vomit and Mean Jean.


  10. Zooey says:

    Oh god, that’s a baaaaaad picture, TP.


  11. Exley says:

    Boy, this site has really gone downhill since Judd left. At least he limited the threads to discussions of politics and policy. Now, the site is reduced to “schoolyard” gossip and vomit imagery? What does this thread have to do with anything of relevance?

    ThinkProgress, what are you? A bunch of seventh-graders?


  12. Simmons says:

    Does the media report too much or what?

  19. GSD says:

    Oh, poor Exely, what’s wrong? Maybe we can get Ann Coulter to raise the bar with some faggot jokes?

    -GSD


  20. Moses H. says:

    I absolutely agree with a previous poster, this type of material is completely unnecessary. Somehow the progressives better get a handle on their own screeching or be rightly seen as the reverse mirror of the dittoheads they abhor.

    If we don’t call out our own and stifle the urge to gloat and snicker we’ll never attract middle of the road mainstreamer’s that are critical to advancing any sort of neutral positive policy.

    TP is sliding off the edge of the page here, get back on or you’ll lose us.



  21. Jess Wundrun says:

    I think the mystery substance was left by one of those suitors who proposed marriage to her, once she removed the mask and revealed mephistopheles beneath.

    Wrong. I have been posting here for waaaaaaaaaaaaay longer than you have and there has always been feel good stories like this. These are the stories that make the day go by while you people continue screwing up our country.


  23. n69n says:

    HA HA!!!
    could not have happened to a more vomitous person.


  24. EasyRider says:

    You have it wrong. She was just cleaning up for the election.


  25. EasyRider says:

    You have it wrong. She was just ckleaning up for the election.


  26. RemoveBush says:

    “They think I’m a hottie,” she said.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little bit……


  27. EasyRider says:

    Jake really is a fool and must think everyone else is as stupid as he is.


  28. Exley says:

    GSD,

    It’s disgusting. That’s the problem.


  29. Phaedrus says:

    Great, just great. What does this do for your criticism of news outlets covering Anna Nicole, or the MSM covering the deaths of white girls over important stories, etc. etc. etc.
    Good journalism, guys.


  30. Exley says:

    Really, Spudge? Well, I don’t recall seeing vomit stories or bathroom jokes here before. I guess I have been lucky until this point. I still think it’s gross and I am surprised The Politico ran it.


  31. bob (not the hacker) says:

    To Jake, and all the other conservowhiners out there: if you don’t like it, follow the link to the CONSERVATIVE website and snivell there. That nasty taste in the back of your mouth is your own politics coming back up to haunt you.


  32. Zimzone says:

    Why in the HELL are f*cking Trolls worried about the quality of a site they hate?

    Ex-Lax, you go first. (Pun intended.)

    JakeOff, you go clean up the puke.

    Daryll, please pray for these two.

    Valiant Vehemence, get a mop. NOW!

    FireFart, stay the Hell out of here, you don’t belong in the women’s toilet.

    Jean Schmidt: HA HA HA HA HA HA!!


  33. E.E. Pointer says:

    Jean,
    Do you actually believe that some NeoCons think you are a hottie?

    AHHHHH, the smell of Avon and Vomit. Let’s Dance.

    Priceless!

    (Why don’t you just shut up?)


  34. James says:

    Excriment is okay with willful torture of humans, but involuntary human excretions?…no so much.The human body can be sooo ickey


  35. Exley says:

    Great, just great. What does this do for your criticism of news outlets covering Anna Nicole

    Good point.


  36. dlet says:

    When she fell in the vomit she began to wallow and snort like a piggy.

    Caption contest: I got elected by going from crack house to crack house and performing bob the knob on thousands of degenerates for their votes. Let me demonstrate on this microphone.

    Comment by Exley — March 15, 2007 @ 4:15 pm

    Not my fault that you are 1) a n00b on this site and 2) don’t pay attention to the threads you post in.


  38. Zimzone says:

    Don’t you people get it?

    Jean Schmidt is the bitch who called an honored vet a coward.

    If that’s not pertinent, none of you are, either.

    We have a lot of cowards in today’s Congress, like all the Righties who couldn’t find time to serve, but Murtha is not one of them.

    Any questions?


  39. Zimzone says:

    Actually, Jeanie, you’re a ‘pottie’, definitely not a hottie.


  40. Exley says:

    A “n00b?” Who are you? Dr. Cox?


  41. detepe says:

    That’s MY representative!

    I’m so proud.


  42. Spudge_Boy says:

    And the difference for all you retards is that the MSM ran/runs missing white girl stories 24/7 with 5 minutes dedicated to real news (slanted to the right). ThinkProgress on the other hand covers important news 24/7 with 5 minutes for Jean Schmidts Karma momment. So, go fu*k yourselves.


  43. Spudge_Boy says:

    Nope, just somebody who is calling you a n00b, n00b.


  44. detepe says:

    That’s MY representative!

    I’m so proud.

  48. debkakes says:

    This thread disappoints me, and makes me uninclined to ready any others, even ones about important issues and stories. As a lifelong liberal, I must say the fatuousness of the left often matches that of the right. These posts are infantile, unfunny, full of anger, and immature. I am sickened….

  52. tom baker says:

    #49 debkakes – it’s the “play nice” attitude that’s had us marginalized for the last 30 years – tell me – has it been worth it????????????????


  53. debkakes says:

    #53 Tom, infantile commentary will not bring us respect. This level of nastiness brings us down to their level, does not elevate us at all. It’s not about playing nice — it’s about having something of value to contribute.


  54. chimpeach says:

    They think I’m a hottie

    Well, I guess we know what caused the vomiting.


  55. Paul in LA says:

    That’s what she gets for using Katherine Harris’ Purity Drops — too many trips to the John.

    Hey Jean — you’re supposed to SLEEP in the vomit, not slip in it.

    At least, that’s how they do it over at Walter Reed.


  56. Paul in LA says:

    “#53 Tom, infantile commentary will not bring us respect.” — deb

    Apparently you’ve never seen O’Reilly.

    Or his pal George.

    Or his pal Brownie.

    Or his pal Jean. He’s the one with the vomit strip up the back.


  57. Raymond Funamoto says:

    AT LAST Jean Schmidt IS IN HER ELEMENT–BILIOUS PUKE-VOMIT!!!!!
    WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE!!!! WELL!!!! AS the LATE GREAT Jack Benny WOULD SURMISE, “SHE COULD AT LEAST HAVE BROKEN AN ARM OR A LEG TO PLEASE THE CHEERING CROWD!!!!!”
    “Three Marriage Proposals and a lot of dates? A Hottie?” I GUESS Jean FORGOT TO TELL EVERYONE THAT THE THREE PROPOSALS CAME FROM: 1)Frankenstein’s Monster–he always wanted to marry someone he LOOKED BETTER than! 2)Quasimodo–he had a HUNCH that this gal was his “match made in heaven” or LOWER! 3)The Phantom of the Opera Erik–they all said that he didn’t have a GHOST of a chance with Jean, a “hottie” i.e., a STEAMING HOT TURD STRAIGHT FROM THE ANUS OF THE DEVIL HIMSELF, El Diablo CHIMPya–THE ONLY ANUS AROUND THAT COULD PRODUCE SUCH A HIDEOUS, HATCHET-FACED, HORSEY HOYDENNISH WHORE OF A HARRIDAN LIKE Jean Schmidt! BLEARGGGGGG!!!! THERE, Jean I JUST VOMITED SO WHY DON’T YOU ROLL IN IT LIKE THE DOGGIE YA ARE, BITCH!!!!! DID I MENTION SUITOR NO 4)The Mummy–who got so WRAPPED UP in Jean’s “charms” THAT HE ACCIDENTALLY CHOKED HIMSELF TO DEATH???????


  58. Large Marge says:

    Puke on a Puke!


  59. R says:

    I’ll just bet she looked stunning too, since vomit bile has a way of really bringing out one’s eye and skin color.


  60. Aqua says:

    Newsflash debkakes at 54: Why would you want the respect of people who think it’s okay to bash decorated veterans in the name of political gain? Or who look the other way when it happens? Or tell us to hush and be quiet whenever we’re criticized, but the other side can run amok?

    I can live without the respect of such people.


  61. R says:

    Her photo looks like SHE’S the one hurling. Say, “RALPH”, Jean.


  62. tom baker says:

    Whose respect do we want Deb? The respect of Rush Limbaugh’s audience? They’re never going to respect you or I no matter what we say or do – are you familiar with Jimmy Carter’s story?? For the record, Pres. Carter has all the respect I have to offer, but it doesn’t garner him any influence in the important matters of U.S. governance.

    I’m with Aqua – happy to carry on without the respect of wingnuts and fence-sitters.

    If you never hit back, the bully will always run your life for you.


  63. Liberals Heart Terrorists says:

    LIKE I SAID, YOU WOULD MURDER CONSERVATIVES IF YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH IT.

    This woman could have broken her neck and you’re cheering. You people are hatemongers. Plain and simple.


  64. debkakes says:

    Where did I say I wanted the respect of right wing fanatical wingnuts?
    There are other people who listen to our words, who love to compare us to them. I guess #58 speaks for you.


  65. debkakes says:

    By the way, #63, there’s a difference between hitting back and spewing bile. I’m shocked that after this last, horrible, 6 year of Bushies and their apologists, you don’t recognize that. Sad sad sad.


  66. tom baker says:

    Peace to you Deb, but save your shaming for someone else – someone who really deserves it. There’s nothing any of us could say here that comes within light years of what Righty has done, and I’ll be damned rather than ashamed, tyvm.


  67. Spudge_Boy says:

    debkakes,

    We are tired of sitting back and letting these bastards hit without hitting back. Since the minute I have taken the fight to them I have converted a lot more people to living in a truth based reality, instead of one based on fantasy. So, you go ahead and sit back and we will do what we want. If you think that making fun of a dumb b!tch who called a decorated war veteran a coward, then don’t bother reading the post or commenting, because you are only drawing more attention to the thread by adding more comments that people will click through to read.

    And I will continue to point and laugh at the likes of Jean Schmidts folly.

    Oh yeah and LHT, I wish she would have broken her neck. That would be what I call payment for her helping to perpetuate an illegal war.


  68. Spudge_Boy says:

    By the way, #63, there’s a difference between hitting back and spewing bile.

    Hey now, we don’t know who spewed the bile, only who slipped in it. Ba da bing! I’ll be here all night folks.


  69. R says:

    #64- Yes, I would. I wish she HAD broken her neck, then there would be one less one of you.

    Michael’s task is to argue in favor of that position.

    Still waiting, chickenshit.

    “MURDER CONSERVATIVES”?

    Shouldn’t be necessary. They should be getting their huge rearends blown off in Iraq — but they are ALL COWARDS, while warmongering a total lie for profit.

    And NONE are ‘conservatives.’ They, you, are RADICALS, who slave away at BOOTLICKING treason to drain the Treasury for the haves and have-mores, as the Butcher Bush made more than clear in his own words.

    Want to murder conservatives? You’ll find them cowering under their desks.

    Bush would need to fall into a blood soaked vat of Booze and Cocaine first, while being run over in Lawrah’s car!


  88. Paul in LA says:

    It is rather shocking to hear people referring to ‘karma’ as if that were some sort of fact — as opposed to the rather more obvious FAILURE of justice to punish most high criminals, like Bush, Cheney, or even the lowly Latino, Abu Gonzales, torturers all.

    WE may be able to get some justice, but karma is just too much to ask from a universe that gives instant karma to soldiers for being brave and signing up, and leaves the lying leaders cowering in their bunkers, in power, scheming to kill more people.

    Too bad – she had an accident.
    Kind of metaphorical, I’d say.
    Some may call it karma.
    Some say whatever goes around comes around.
    Others say, serves you right, beeyatch.


  92. Marie says:

    Hey you guys,
    Once in a while TP ought to be able to indulge in silliness without everyone getting their knickers in a twist.
    This is a break from the very serious news that is covered 98% of the time. We are only human – and we like to gloat now and then.

    You are confused, because you’re a moron. You can play, but you’re too stupid to know what the game is. Why put up with nothingness, you used the MSM convince america he wouldn’t fcuk up the country – you were wrong. As for you enemy – actually retarded CONs like you are the enemy of everyone, including yourself. As for the *nutty* libs, truly the remark of a complete dumbass! You sound like another member of the *senility-brigade* the GOP has been sending from their retiree tube-training class.

    Just so you know, you come across as a third rate j*ck*ss, with a fourth rate intellect. You’d fit right in over at the GOP blogs – please go there. Here, you’re just another right wingnut clogging up the blog with your dumb b*llsh*t! Dum bass!


  96. Fancy Pants Elitist says:

    It’s awfully hard to be sorry for her, considering she represents a district who cheated on the voting machines.

    This is a woman who votes for a war which ends up making our veterans lay in their own urine at Walter Reed out patient hospice. This is a woman who votes for a war which sends already wounded vets back into battle with a “clean bill of health” even though many of them can’t even handle the weight of the armor which they may or may not get. This is a woman that votes for an agenda which sends our kids into endless war and uses them up until they are dead, like so much detritus.

    I have no sympathy whatsoever for this sorry excuse for a human being. It’s rather gratifying to see her wallowing in vomit, because that’s a suitable environment for her. The wingnuts who post here should all visit a vet in Walter Reed and do something to make their lives better. I’m sure she has NOT done such a thing. She hates the troops and will send them back there over and over again until there’s nothing left of them. Just like her “leader” tells her to. Just like Bush, she wants them dead.

    I don’t wish her dead, but I do hope that somewhere in her measly excuse for a soul, that she realizes this is part of the karma (and very fitting) that she brought on herself.

    Let’s make sure we have the right frame here: THE REPUBLICANS HATE THE TROOPS! We need to say that over and over again until it STICKS.

    So screw those that scream about our response that a woman this nasty gets what she has asked for. She was probably wearing red white and blue heels and slipped in it because she wasn’t LOOKING where she was walking. I have no sympathy for people being stupid. Especially people who support an endless war that kills our soldiers, and innocent people in Iraq. SHE should be over there, that senseless chickenhawk.


  97. Fancy Pants Elitist says:

    STubain, spouting BS: “All BS aside. I am here to learn more about the enemy – nutty libs. And make no mistake that nutty libs are an enemy of the state and the American way of life.”

    Hey, you who hate “nutty libs”…. Explain to me why your party supports an administration that lets our vets lie in their own urine when they are wounded and trying to get medical care that they need because they were wounded in a senseless and insane war. Explain to me why you HATE THE TROOPS. Why the hell aren’t you OVER THERE if you love this senseless war against innocent people so much? Explain to me the REASONS for this war against a country which didn’t have WMD’s, which didn’t want our brand of Democracy, which had done not a damned thing to us? Explain to me why we are wasting our treasure of both money and blood for the benefit of a few, the the chickenhawks in this administration and the gluttony of military mercenaries like Halliburton and the military industrial complex.

    When you explain this without screaming chickenhawk lies, then maybe we will listen, but you have no decent arguments for this war, you have no excuse for being an idiot, and you have no reasons for this murderous policy which only kills people and does NOTHING to help this country. It’s your party’s attitude which has utterly ruined our reputation across the globe, and has undermined all attempts at peace and sanity.

    You’ve used up your clout, Stubain, and you HATE THE TROOPS. If you didn’t, you would be asking this government to fully fund and equip our troops, and be against people like this mindless bitch who wasn’t watching where she was walking and slipped in the vomit that was probably spewed by someone so disgusted with the policies she supports.

    It’s probably useless responding to your filth though. You HATE THE TROOPS and you hate our country.

    Because the money needed to fix this problem is controlled by nutty libs who control the “purse”… Thanks nutty libs for the steaming pile the sh*t you have dumped on our troops.

    Why the hell aren’t you OVER THERE if you love this senseless war against innocent people so much?

    I will explain it so even a nutty lib can understand… Got your pen? Here we go… Saddam was pissed that daddy Bush pushed him out of Kuwait in ‘91 – Clinton was such a pushover that Saddam was able to test WMD on his own people (Kurds) – Being that Saddam had a bone to pick with the US, ignored many UN resolutions, and that Bubby Bush was ELECTED (sorry Gore, you lost) in 2000, Saddam was a serious threat to the US and our friends. End of story – Baghdad to boom.

    “…your party’s attitude which has utterly ruined our reputation across the globe…”

    I don’t give two sh*ts about our “reputation” around the globe. Screw France!

    I think that just about does it. Good day!

    Love you long time.

    Stubain, your approach to matters and your understanding of the world today is indicative of your limited intelligence, your inability to see things except through your backward-looking prism. Your nationalistic views, your militaristic approach, your general belligerent and bellicose attitude is shared by our c-in-c and is the reason why we find ourselves in the mess we are today.

    I suppose an MBA is not good enough for you private jet nutty libs.
    Thanks again…

    I think anyone who doubts the existence of God need only read this account, and rethink their stance.

    I like this much better than the hail of toads!


  102. Marie says:

    Democrats are traditionally the working class, Stubain. Republicans are generally the wealthy business owners. So refer to your comrades for use of their private jets.
    Your MBA may have provided with your ability to travel in such circles and I don’t hold that against you – but don’t make erroneous right wing, baseless charges against the working people of America — it shows your snobbishness.

    Look, most of the time I get so disgusted and depressed because of what the treasonous Republican party has done in this country and while I normally come to TP for up to date information and the truth of what’s really going on I’m really glad things like this are thrown in every once in a while. I haven’t laughed this hard in days so THANKS, TP, I NEEDED THAT.

    Some of you need to lighten up.

    I speak of the nutty lib hypocrites who spew one line out of their filthy sewers then do the opposite. Pelosi with her air travel fiasco and Gore with his “global warming” nonsense are just two examples.

    I did not say anything against the working class. Please explain.
