Florida primary -- Oh my God!

Guest post by Capt. Fogg

Imagine waking up on a Wednesday morning and reading that Pee Wee Herman is now the heavyweight champion of the world or that Mark Karr was appointed Secretary of Education or that Sammy "the Bull" Gravano is the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve. But of course truth is stranger than fiction -- much stranger.

Katherine Harris: Her name has become a metonym for insanity, a metaphor for demented confidence. Katherine Harris thinks God chooses leaders; either forgetting or not knowing ( or not caring) that the cornerstone of the American Revolution was a rejection of that idea. Katherine Harris thinks only Christians (by her definition) should hold public office. She insists that this country was not founded to be a "nation of secular laws" because lies like that appeal to the ignorant, bigoted, superstitious rabble that vote Republican.

Katherine Harris: Delusional, demented, dishonest, and disloyal to American principles was the best the party could come up with, and, naturally, the Republican voters of Florida chose her to be their candidate to run against Democratic Senator Bill Nelson.

Of course, voter turnout was poor, as can be expected at a time when the country's future is in the balance, and poor turnout works well for Republicans. Let's hope some Democrats manage to remember Election Day come November.
