A quick question for discussion? Who would you say is the most deranged member of Congress? Which member of the House of Representatives, in particular, is the least in contact with what we conventionally call "reality."
There are perhaps many to choose from. There is the ever loathsome xenophobe Steve King, Iowa's embarrassment in Congress, known for such antics as t was King who accusing the White House of "serving "ACORN cookies" at their events. There's teavangelical icon Michelle Bachmann of the otherwise largely progressive state of Minnesota. And of course there is Louie Gomert who during a debate on "Don't Ask — Don't Tell" managed to bring bestiality and necrophilia into the conversation.
Anyway, there are likely many others. So, who would you hold up as King or Queen Cuckoo of Congress? And also, what does it say about their districts that these sorts of nutjobs manage to actually win elections?
