<<After controversial remarks by one Republican lawmaker attacking Girl Scouts as a radical group that supports abortion, House Speaker Brian Bosma made his feelings clear Tuesday, one Thin Mint cookie at a time.

Bosma, R-Indianapolis, pointedly offered Girl Scout cookies throughout the day and munched them as he presided over the House.

At one point Tuesday, he told House colleagues he had "purchased 278 cases of Girl Scout cookies in the last 48 hours."

And when time came for the House to adjourn, he asked all lawmakers who had been Girl Scouts -- and seemingly every female legislator stood -- to give the daily motion to adjourn.

As he left the House, Bosma was dismissive of the controversy: "I've been to the carnival before, and you don't walk in to every sideshow tent.">>



NEVER thought I'd say this, but props to Brian Bosma. Finally -- an idea that is too batshit crazy that not even a fellow Republican can get on board with it.

The bad news is that this is getting national attention, and once again Indiana looks backward-foolish.
