An Experiment in Scotch

Which accord­ing to one Alcee Hast­ings, Demo­c­ra­tic Con­gress­man from Florida, means she hates Jews and Blacks. Ahem. Ahem again because hell, what in God’s tar­na­tion do you say to that? I quote:

“If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a rea­son for you to get over what­ever your prob­lem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had bet­ter pay atten­tion,” said Hast­ings. “Any­body tot­ing guns and strip­ping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through.”

Right. Who in the holy hell elected this dimwit to Con­gress? I’m at a com­plete loss for words which is odd given how stu­pid Con­gress­man Hast­ings just made him­self look. I’m going to go right along with the reac­tion from the Palin camp:

Asked about the Hast­ings crit­i­cism, Palin spokes­woman Maria Comella said, “We’re tak­ing a pass.”

If you thought we were in trou­ble with the bailout, you should be ter­ri­fied to know that Alcee L. Hast­ings rep­re­sents South Florida in any­thing short of a stu­pid contest.

Hat Tip: Scott whose reac­tion sums it up quite well indeed.
