The last two days have offered up some seriously juicy material in the forms of Steve Kirby, potentially running for Senate in South Dakota, and Brock Olivo, running for House in MO-09.

The former is a ghoulish zombie who harvested skin off cadavers to turn a pretty penny in cosmetic surgery products (wrinkle removers and penis enlargers).

The latter is, well, dumb as a rock.

"Not only was I football player, but I also was in social studies class, and I have a passion for how this country works," Olivo said.

So the guy who raids corpses for profit, or the guy who thinks he should run for Congress because he took a social studies class?

Which one is more representative of the modern GOP? And no, I'm not going to offer "both" as an answer. That'd be the easy way out.

Update: Comment of the day by ogre:

2/3 Evil, 1/3 Dumb As Rock.

I think that's about accurate, as a recipe for GOP.
