VIDEO: Shadegg Uses Baby Maddy as Prop During Health Care Debate
The Political Carnival — By GottaLaff I wanted to "spit up", and wished Maddy had.

Maddy believes in patient choice health care."). Maddy, as soon as she reaches the age of majority, is probably going to sue the living shit out of you, Mr. Shadegg.

Arms were twisted and promises were made that we may never know about. This outcome in the House was unfortunate, but not unexpected. (photos below) Congressman John Shadegg (R-AZ) made the most courageous and strategic decision of the night. Despite knowing that National Right to Life would ding him for his "present" vote on the Stupak pro-life amendment (call it a No vote) , he did not budge. His plan was to lead his colleagues in a courageous and strategic attempt to derail ...
