She won't resign and neither would other Republican slime-bags embedded in scandal like Larry Craig or Ted Stevens. What Republicans need now is some discipline - she should be fired under the new hate-crimes legislation!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-31891805732591901622009-05-02T13:43:00.000+12:002009-05-02T13:43:00.000+12:00pilotpmg: I completely agree.

My home state, Illinois, has its own insane Member of Congress, John Shimkus (R-19), who famously declared that there was more global warming in the time of the dinosaurs. He also declared that global warming won't destroy earth because it will end only when "God wants it to", and "man" can't destroy the earth.<br /><br />More recently, he declared that President Obama's energy plan was worse than the Iraq War, worse than the Afghanistan War and even worse than 9/11. This landed him on MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's "Worst Persons" list, during which Keith said Shimkus was upset that he ranked no higher than fourth on the insane US Representatives list—well behind your Michele Bachman.<br /><br />By the way, Shimkus' own website backs most of the same things on the president's energy plan. Saying one thing, then attacking it when someone else says the same things, is one of those pesky definitions of insanity, I'd say.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-47531537889176663422009-05-02T12:22:00.000+12:002009-05-02T12:22:00.000+12:00The more these members of the Republican Party con...The more these members of the Republican Party continue to spew their venom and bigotry, the more damage they will do (thankfully) to the future of their Party. We here in Minnesota have our own wingnut, Michele Bachmann, in the House. Thankfully, I do not live in her district. But I was so embarrassed that she was re-elected. We need to continue to stand up to these spineless and brainless bullies and say "enough is enough!"pilotpmghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728164139826028500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-79376834496529307412009-05-01T22:29:00.000+12:002009-05-01T22:29:00.000+12:00I think Nik is right.
