Eejit!

How do complete assholes like Cannon get elected in the first place? What genetic deficiency leads Republican voters to pick - repeatedly - dumber-than-dirt candidates with all the personality of a clogged toilet as their representatives? I swear that we have never seen as high a percentage of useless, empty-skulled GOP lawmakers in Congress as we have during this Administration's tenure. Who votes for these cow pies, anyway?
