Michelle Bachmann, David Wu, Joe Wilson, Anthony Weiner, Allen West; the list goes on and on. Our elected delegates have a knack for making us look bad and wishing we were from another state. We all have one, a representative for our state, riding, constituency, etc., that defies logic, reason, and common sense on a regular basis and makes us cringe. Today’s Question of the day: Which of your national representatives make you facepalm?
Mine is pictured here, Virgina Foxx from Banner Elk, NC. She looks like a nice grandmother with crazy eyes, right? Well, in her case, the eyes really are the windows to the soul because she is several brands of crazy and a couple kinds of mean. She stated that calling the Matthew Shepard murder a hate crime was a hoax while Matthew’s mother in attendance. She was one of the brave voices that made everyone aware of Obama’s proposed death panels. She chaired a committee that proposed an 18 billion dollar cut for job training programs, while her district has had an unemployment rate 2 points above the state average for the last several years. She is well funded and can always be counted on to protect the corporate interests of her supporters. She may be redistricted out of a job soon and I have my fingers crossed.
Who’s yours?
