@BetteMidler
The real wages of workers on factory floors are lower than in the early ’70s. Richest 10% of Americans get over half the income US produces.

‏@BetteMidler
So....@tedcruz? Blame Canada!

@BetteMidler
.@tedcruz pushes this country to the brink. "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its pants."

‏@BetteMidler
Looks like it might be the end of @tedcruz. Dumb is dumb, and it's becoming clearer every minute...

@BetteMidler
What's the term for a Congress that votes against gun control, and shuts down the gov't over affordable healthcare? Oh yeah...fucked up.

@BetteMidler
The New Normal: USA held hostage by right wing extremists. Osama Ben Laden couldn't have done it better.

1. I'm beginning to like her.

She's got fire!

[calimary]

4. I just love Bette Midler!

I loved her film "For the Boys." It went nowhere. But it was WUNNNNNderful.

[appacom]

23. I loved that movie too!

[roguevalley]

51. check out her mermaid skit where she sings

with back up singers wearing mermaid costumes in wheelchairs. Prepare to die laughing. She always was a stand up dem lady

[dflprincess]

60. Delores Delago is the name of her mermaid character

I saw her in concert here several years ago - she was wonderful and did bring out Delores and the backup mermaids.

[Ellipsis]

2. It's not wise to piss off the divine Miss M

She'll fuck you up man!

[Cha]

3. Thank you, Bette! We need all the help we

can get!

thanks DI

[pacalo]

5. Right on, Bette!

For non-twitterers, does the "@tedcruz" mean that Ted Cruz will get these messages, too?

[Drunken Irishman]

8. Yup!

[blue14u]

19. If the answer is yes..

he will suck this up and love it. That's how a

narcissus thinks.

[Cali_Democrat]

6. Go Bette

12. One of the Great Ones!

We've a bunch of them....Great Ones. She is one of them, to be sure.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

13. Check out how the Right twists things....

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/07/31/bette-midler-america-it-s-easier-take-life-get-health-insurance

Let's look at the facts, shall we?

In 2011, there were about 14,000 homicides in our nation. That year, 48.6 million Americans were uninsured.

That means about 261 million people in our country had health insurance that year, or 18,643 times the number of homicides.

Midler might be a Divine singer, but her intellectual capacity is anything but.

Oh sure, let's take the number of people WITH insurance and compare that to the number of people killed by guns and then say the numbers are wildly different and then have the nerve to claim intellectual superiority.

It's like watching Bush give a mangled press conference and exit the stage thinking, "nailed it!"

[cui bono]

14. LOL. What does that even mean???

Huh??? That made my brain crash.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. It's like asking "If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half then,..."

"....how long will it take a rooster sitting on a brass doorknob to hatch a hardware store?"

[cui bono]

22. Did you know that...

that is an actual math question on the official Tea Party candidate qualifying exam?

The correct answer is "Obama is a socialist".

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. I thought it was "Obama is a Kenyan Communist Muslim Terrorist Fascist Dictator".

[cui bono]

25. That too.

There are many acceptable answers since they are multiple choice tests and any answer is correct. They had to figure out some way to get people to pass after all.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

26. As if they didn't follow Sarah's example and write the answers on their hand.

[yodermon]

37. OK this subthread is full of win

thx guys, needed a laugh

[Mnemosyne]

41. He's a Muslin, dammit, get the spelling right! nt

[Hydra]

54. DUzy!

And I'm busy hiccuping from laughing so hard at you two

[Spitfire of ATJ]

57. I tried that "Hen and a half" thing on someone once and they said, "Roosters don't lay eggs".

[Lordquinton]

16. what?

what?

"What?"


What?

[NastyRiffraff]

34. What the...?

WTF does the number of homicides have to do with the number of insured?

Now they're just throwing random words and phrases at the wall hoping that something will stick.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. An actual statistic would be how many gun owners can't get insurance.

[greatlaurel]

50. They are resorting to word salads.

There are no facts that back their ridiculous claims, so they are resorting to word salads. If not for word salad, they would have to remain silent. The facts are not the Republicans friends.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

52. There are more atoms on the head of a pin than the combined number of gunshot deaths & uninsured

I think that definitively proves that we need more guns and less healthcare coverage.

[George II]

58. "It's like watching Bush give a mangled press conference and exit the stage thinking, "nailed it!" "

Yes, and then finding the door is locked that he was using to exit:

And a beautiful mind it is too. A quick plug for The New York Restoration Project, founded by Bette.

[Dreamer Tatum]

49. Man, when you get Bette Midler riled, you're in deep shit.

I just hope we can contain the rage when Bernadette Peters gets rolling. If Twiggy and Louise Lasser join in, I'm locking my doors and staying away from the windows. That's all I'm saying.
