Going Congressional, Part Four

"We're losing this one guys... break out the baby."

John Shadegg (R-AZ) is the gift of stupid that just keeps giving. During yesterday's debate on healthcare, he wheeled on a prop baby (on loan from his Chief of Staff) and prefaced every point in his speech with 'Maddie says'. Like "Maddie says she doesn't want the government to take away her health insurance, Maddie just wants to keep the insurance she has..." and other such highly embarrassing crap.

Last month I added two new words to Urban Dictionary in Shadegg's honor after he rose to prominence in the highly competitive sport known as 'Which Republican Can Be The Biggest Dumbass?'.

Despite the success of star players like Michele Bachmann and Joe Wilson, I still think Shadegg has the right stuff to be an all-time hall-of-famer - the veritable Babe Ruth of asshattery if you will. (Related: Going Congressional, Parts 1 through 3)
