Has it gotten weird enough for you yet? I mean, hardly a day goes by lately that we don't learn something new about those holier-than-thou folks on political right. And I'm not talking about those crazy "Repent, the world's ending" folks carrying sandwich signs on street corners. No, I'm talking about men and women of breathless ignorance who've achieved high public office. It's becoming a freak show of sorts. No, wait. Where'd the "of sorts" come from? These folks on the Christian right, are about as freaky as it gets.
Step right up ladies and gentlemen and witness the amazing Rep. Michelle Bachmann, originating from the genus, "moronus-rediculous." Hailing from the northern reaches of Minnesotta, she's half woman, half jackass. Listen to her warning that government spies are coming soon, disguised as census takers. Hear her chilling tale of how Democrats caused the swine flu outbreak. Please, folks, she looks harmless, but do not try to engage this creature in any way. It bites when confused, and it's confused most of the time.
Now take a mind-bending peak into the tent of Senator Jeff Sessions, genus "crackerous-alabamus." This creature is currently also appearing at the confirmation hearings for Sonya Sotomayor where he accused her of being racist. Here comes the real freaky part. Sessions was himself rejected for a seat on the federal bench in 1986 because of comments he made like; "I didn't think the Ku Klux Klan was not so bad until I found out that some of them smoked marijuana," and referred to the NAACP and ACLU as "un-American" and "Communist-inspired" because "they forced civil rights down the throats of people," and, while serving a lawyer in his home state of Alabama, accused a fellow white lawyer of being "a disgrace to your race," for representing African-American clients.
Step right up to the next tent and, for the low, low cost of just 3 of your IQ points, you can experience the wonders of the Gorilla from Wasilla. She walks. She talks. And, if you disagree with her, she crawls on her belly like reptile. While many of these freaks are one-of-kind, the species "Palinwasillica" breeds constantly, even in captivity. (If this is your lucky day, for no extra cost, you may witness a breeding or birthing.) Even their young breed with apparent reckless abandon. Despite their rapacious birthrate scientists have yet to indentify a single evolutionary reason for their existence.

There's more freaks but I figure by now you're freaked-out.
The only question Americans should be asking themselves as they watch and listen and learn more about these elected right-wing freaks is this: How the holy hell did these people ever get into public office? And, in a world that's becoming increasingly disfunctional and dangerous, can we afford wasting a single public office on freaks like these?
Holy chit. I'm just sayin'
