Our braniac of a Lt. Governor has done it again. Mr. Unibrow has made yet another declaration that ranks up there with the best Dan Quayle-isms:
Wow. What a visionary. What an intellect. What a friggin’ moron.
Anybody else have local politicians with this degree of political acumen? Any good examples of gibberish, misquotes, etc.? Should this be in GQ?
It could be an Urban Legend, but I heard of a Texas poitician defending his position of making English the national language by saying “If it was good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for me.”
That’s not entirely an urban legend, Julius. Former Governor Ma Ferguson is the source of that quote, but it was about the King James Bible, not making English an official state religion.
Friggin’ morons belong in the BBQ Pit.
Oh man, you banished me to the pit? I was asking for information, not flaming. I mean, the lead-in was a little strong, but the pit? Is there no justice? Ah well, it’s probably a doomed thread anyway, from the looks of things.
::tumbleweed rolls by, lone dog barks in the distance::
Nah, not doomed exactly.
I live in Pennsylvania. We’re represented in the Senate by Rick Santorum. Need I say more?

One time I met the Pope, and he called me a Guinea cocksucker.
We had four years of “Governor Ventura.” Enough said…
I’ll see your Ventura and raise you a George Wallace. 
The Lt. Governor certainly said a silly thing. But what I want to know is – does this mean that he’s running some sort of religious effort as the Lieutenant Governor? How the hell is that legal?
Actually, ever since Bush’s moronic “faith-based initiative” got started, I’ve wondered when it’ll hit the Supreme Court. I don’t see how it could possibly pass muster, given that the government is now in partnership with organizations that practice the kind of discrimination that’s been illegal for decades in non-religious organizations that receive government funds.
(And why do the newspapers let the White House get away with establishing all sorts of weasley new euphemisms? “Faith-based”? Do people actually interpret that differently than they would “religious”?)
The oddities in Alaska would fill several books, but basically this is a staunchly conservative state with all manner of religious whack jobs on the loose. Politicians have no qualms about spouting the most ridiculous of religious drivel in direct connection with their elected offices.
The voters here, in kneejerk reaction to eight years of a so-called Democrat in the governor’s office, elected our U.S. Senator of 23 years to the office. Sen. (now Gov.) Murkowski was one of the most useless gasbags to ever serve in WDC and basically spent 23 years keeping a cheap grey suit from collapsing. Now the pubbies have put him into office here and he has managed to piss off people of ALL political stripe by appointing his daughter to his vacated senatorial seat! If I hadn’t been born and raised here, I would move somewhere else, but in 30 years of travel never found anywhere I’d rather live.
