We're SO Proud.

I hope you didn't think that Idaho had reached its limits for political foolishness with Bill "I move to repeal the laws of gravity" Sali or Larry "wide-stance" Craig, or even a governor with a DUI conviction or a county commissioner who collected state sales tax but didn't bother to turn it in (those last two still being in office, because why let a little thing like "ethics" stand in the way of living at tax payer expense).  Nope--we were just getting warmed up.

Today Sarah Palin, the woman who puts the "twit" in "Twitter," has arrived in Boise to stump for a congressional candidate who believes Puerto Rico is....a foreign country.  You know, like Hawaii.  It's rather interesting that Palin is here at all, as the Tea Party has already endorsed his DEMOCRATIC opponent.  That's right.  Even the Tea Party has rejected this guy.  But Sarah is standing by him, which I suppose is admirable considering he didn't vote for her in the last election, which seems to be the most popular thing the man has managed to do.

Indiana is a pale second behind Idaho, but we do have Mark "Family Values" Souder resigning from Congress this week because he had an affair with a part-time employee. The two of them created videos showcasing Mr. Souder's political views, one of which involved her interviewing him about the importance of abstinence education. Is that the definition of irony? Or hubris?
