It's so easy to forget how many stupid and crazy people get elected to public office. Not like banal every day stupidity or like, quiet crazy. But real fringe stuff. The deadspin link has a follow up comment from the guy cementing the idiocy. Just real choice cuts of irrationality, with just the finest touch of oblique implied racism, giving the whole thing a real dose of idiotic umami.
If dumb unnecessary comments were wines, this would cost $200 a bottle.
