Power corrupts. Absolute power turns you into a complete blithering buncha idiots.

Much as I try to resist the temptation to hold my tongue about these daily Republican indiscretions, I'm sorry. They just keep outdoing themselves.

Recall that we here in the New York 26th District are blessed with the one Republican congressman (out of 435) who had to resign in disgrace after a shirtless Craigslist pic of him surfaced (but before the other Mens 12 high heeled shoe dropped and it was revealed that he was trawling for transsexuals on other sites).

Our Guv has just called the special election to replace him. There are three apparent candidates: mainstream Republican, Democrat, and Loony.

Here are two just-today pieces on HIM:

Buffalo News on Crazy Jack: Deport the Latinos and bus the black people in from the 'hood to pick the crops

and even worse (and extremely NSFW):

WNY Media: Crazy Jack paid staffer outed as male prostitute

Words escape me. They just do.

What you need is a Sensible Party candidate.

Is it me, or has a significant fraction of the GOP metamorphosed into a toxic variant of Monster Raving Looneyism?

(Me, I'd hold out for the Slightly Silly Party candidate.)

Vote for:
Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel

A candidate with 50% less NSFW photos!
