We always knew there were yahoos out there. Us
left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers in the Godless Heathen Liberal Northeast especially have always had images of guys with no teeth living in shacks with cars up on blocks in the front yard, a houn' dawg on the porch, and a whole messa guns.

And as long as there were only a few of them, like Louie Gohmert (otherwise known as The Stupidest Fucking Moron Ever To Sit In Congress), we could point at them and laugh. But now, they're starting to make inroads into the upper house of Congress, and there's a very real chance that Democratic sellout Claire McCaskill may be booted out in favor of this guy:

To quote a favorite blogger, "Good fucking God, where does the Republican Party find these trolls?"
