Jean Schmidt, who was batshit crazy before the Tea Party made it cool, is back to reclaim her throne. OhioDaily (of which I am an editor) is reporting this afternoon that the controversial Congresswoman from Cincinnati is chin deep in hot water after a local school was forced to send letters home to parents following her speaking engagement last week.

According to sources close to the situation, Schmidt delivered her routine "career day style" speech on government and the role of a congressperson. Near the end, Schmidt, sensing a chance to connect with very, very young future voters (some of the students were in the first grade), decided to launch into a graphic discussion about abortion. Beginning her special session with "I'm going to get political for a moment," Schmidt then went on to describe what one source described as "developmentally inappropriate things about abortion."

As teen suicides continue to rise nationwide as a result of bullying, you'd think schools and student bodies would be extra sensitive to intimidation especially of a sexual nature. Well, if you're a student of Ohio's Eastlake High School, you'd be wrong.

Video captured at Friday night's game between Eastlake North and Willoughby South in Lake County (far east Cleveland metro area), shows Eastlake students mocking their rivals' uniforms by chanting "powder blue faggots," with what sounds like band accompaniment. The students (and hopefully no parents or staff) carry on for around thirty seconds, although the videographer (through the description on YouTube) claims this was only one segment of several.

Conservative lightning rod "Mean Jean" Schmidt of Ohio finally has a Democratic challenger.

In a district that continues to frustrate progressives because of their inability to topple one of the most embarrassing members of congress, there is finally some hope this morning that the door might be still slightly ajar.
