“Obama has a soft spot for homosexuals because of the years he spent as a male prostitute in his twenties. That is how he paid for his drugs…Since he supports gay marriage, he should be proud of his background as a homosexual/bisexual. He is against everything else Christians stand for, he might as well be for infidelity.”

Mary Lou Bruner, Republican Candidate for the Texas State Board of Education.

Bruner exemplifies what has become of what was a respectable political institution – one that is now an almost complete farce.  Bruner won 48% of the vote in the GOP primary and will likely win the runoff with support from Tea Partisans who actually believe such nonsense.  And since she will have an “R” by her name, she will win in November and then will be part of the Board that approves your children’s textbooks.  If that doesn’t frighten you, nothing will.  But if you really like being frightened, read the Washington Post article on MLB. To quote Count Floyd, “It’s really, really scary kids.”
