We make fun of things around here. Things like ignorant politicians, election scams, bullshit propaganda. And Republicans. Lots of them. And stupid states. While there are still the "usual suspects" when it comes to stupid, Illinois has now joined my list of backwater states.
Rejecting Duckworth, Laesch, and Seals? WTF? What were you thinking?
An election night rant for the hell of it continues after the bump.
So, Illinois. You're serious? Are you so adled by money and greed and stupidity that you would send an asshole to represent you rather than veteran Tammy Duckworth? She left two legs in Iraq, but humped all around your goddamn district to try to talk sense to you. You owe her an apology.
And are you kidding? You rejected John Laesch, who would have been the biggest breath of fresh air in the House, to return fat bastard Hastert to the floor? Are you nuts? Do you not read newspapers or have working brain cells? Do you like being taken? Laesch worked his ass off to give you a representative with honesty and honor. You owe him an apology.
Are you wacko? How could anyone watch Mark Kirk and not vote Democratic? Yes, Kirk of the threatening letters to universities and squalid GOP talking points. Here was Dan Seals, a fine man with a sharp mind who volunteered to help you out of the ditch you're in. Seals looked like gold. You picked tin. You owe Seals an apology.
Maybe YOU don't have to worry about the electric bill - but we do.
Maybe YOU won't be burying a son or daughter home from Iraq in a box - but we have.
Maybe YOU think Republicans are good - but we don't.
Maybe YOU are hooked on corruption and fat bloated bullshit over there in Illinois - but in the rest of the goddamn country, we want change. Now.
You know what, Illinois? You are a backwater. You take the cake for dumbass this election cycle. You win the golden statue, the one with the inscription that reads: "STUPIDER THAN FUCK AWARD 2006."
Know what else? I needed Duckworth, Laesch, and Seals to help every person in this country get their lives back. You screwed with that big time. Guess what else? YOU OWE ME AN APOLOGY.
