It is my firm belief that Oklahoma has the stupidest congressional delegation in the history of the nation. From global-warming-denier James Inhofe to the criminally stupid Tom Coburn, the batshit insanity sweeps down the plain at record levels. But a reevaluation of this position might be in order if a contender for toilet goblin Senator Larry Craig’s seat wins in Idaho:
As disgraced U.S. Senator Larry Craig heads towards retirement, a man seeking his seat has taken an unusual step in his strategy:
He has changed his legal name to a political stance.
A 66-year-old Idaho strawberry farmer, formerly known after a previous name change as Marvin Pro-Life Richardson, is now, simply, “Pro-Life.”
“I think it’s just and I think it’s proper to have Pro-Life on the ballot,” Pro-Life told the Idaho Press-Tribune. “If I save one baby’s life, it’s worth it.”
Pro-Life made the change after an unsuccessful run for governor under the Constitution Party in 2006, hoping this time to skirt the state policy that prevented him from using what was then his middle name as his name on the ballot, as the state considered it not a name, but a slogan.
I’m sure Blastocyst-Americans nationwide are thrilled.
"As disgraced U.S. Senator Larry Craig heads towards retirement, a man '''seeking his seat''' has taken an unusual step in his strategy" ---Is he smart enough to use rubber gloves?

Remember when CBGBs was moved brick by filthy brick to Vegas, including the bathrooms? I wouldn't touch that seat, either.

But, his friends just call him 'after birth.'

Well, at least it makes calling him an idiot easier.

I guess the name "I'm a Douche" was already taken.

Here in Loosiana, a minor candidate once legally changed his name to "None of the Above."
