Bushel Basket Full O'Crazies

We have to ask. Is there any Tea Party candidate who is not certifiably insane? A few cases in point:
First up, Rich Iott. I have no idea how to pronounce his last name except it must sound like 'idiot.'

This is a picture of him dressed up like a Nazi. He's the second from the right.

Allegedly, he is just an enthusiastic history buff who likes to dress up like a Nazi. Really. And he's running for Congress from Ohio. Funny he didn't dress up in striped pajamas if he's such a World War II aficionado.



You probably recognize Christine O'Donnell. We've written about her before. She dabbled in witchcraft but filmed a television commercial in which she states, "I am not a witch." When has it ever been necessary for a candidate make that proclamation? When Samantha ran for president of the PTA from Tabitha's school?


And in this corner, running for Governor of New York, Carl Paladino, another candidate we've mentioned before.
While meeting with Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn yesterday, he said, "I don't want (children) to be brainwashed into thinking homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option ... it isn't."
If Tea Party supporters are frightened of everything, which it appears they are, I suppose these are the candidates they will support.
Personally, I find a Nazi wannabe, a witch and a homophobe a lot more frightening.

You Don't Have to be Crazy to Run for Governor, but ... it doesn't hurt

This is Carl Paladino. He's running for Governor of New York on the Republican ticket. He's one of those Tea Party candidates, and by the way, he's insane.

First he was exposed as having sent horrible e-mails to his 'friends.' These included themes of racism and bestiality.

Mr. Paladino made his fortune in the 'construction' business. I'm thinking this included pouring cement coffins.

He got into a verbal altercation with a reporter from the New York Post which is almost impossible if you're a conservative candidate, considering the NYP is the right wing toy of Rupert Murdoch.

The candidate threatened to 'take him out' if the reporter didn't stop covering Paladino's ten year old daughter.

The reporter denied taking pictures of the kid, but be that as it may, there should be no doubt what Paladino meant by taking him out. Hint: It doesn't mean they should go to the movies.
