Another GOP’r who must be a riot at parties

From yesterday, at least I can say this guy stands up for himself.

It seems Rex Rammell from Idaho wants to get his “Hunt Obama Tag”.  True, he’s an idiot, but at least he was willing to try to speak for himself, unlike our stellar idiot from yesterday.

FTA:

UPDATE 8/28:Idaho gubernatorial hopeful Rex Rammell has refused to apologize Friday for his joke about hunting Obama, saying in a statement, “Anyone who understands the law, knows I was just joking, because Idaho has no jurisdiction to issue hunting tags in Washington, D.C.”

His comments were universally condemnedby fellow Idaho Republicans. “Rex Rammell’s comments are in very poor taste and should not have been said,” said Sen. Mike Crapo. “I disgree often with the President and his policies. But the comment was totally unacceptable and should not have been made,” said Sen. Mike Risch. Rep. Mike Simpson and former Idaho Gov. Phil Batt also offered harsh rebukes.

The truly hilarious part however is at the end of the article.  It’s where we find out that, yes Virginia, the gene pool is really cesspool in some places…

Rammell isn’t the first Rexburg resident who has drawn attention for making an anti-Obama comment. In November 2008, second- and third-grade students on a school bus there chanted “Assassinate Obama” after his election, prompting the mayor of this eastern Idaho town to publicly apologize.
