Classy: Rep. Blumenauer tweets abortion joke about Boehner’s ‘Plan B’ bill

After Speaker John Boehner failed to rally enough support for his “Plan B” bill, many people tweeted tasteless abortion puns about the fiscal cliff measure that shares its nickname with a brand of emergency contraception. But only one of them was a sitting congressman.

A Congressman tweeted this –> “@repblumenauer: Did the GOP just abort “plan B”?”

Classy. “@repblumenauer: Did the GOP just abort “plan B”?”

But it’s House Republicans who aren’t serious about the fiscal cliff?

Several members of the lapdog media retweeted Oregon Rep. Blumenauer. But nearly 12 hours later, it appears that none of them considered a Democratic congressman cracking an abortion joke newsworthy enough to write about.

One ThinkProgress editor was delighted at Blumenauer’s “sassy” quip.

Abortion punchlines: Sassy.

@katunews @repblumenauer You’re a nasty, sick little man. And shame on KATU for encouraging him.
