Richard Mourdock: Is this guy actually crazy?

by: Thomas

Thu Jul 16, 2009 at 10:24:04 AM EDT


After saying a few weeks ago that "John Wayne never needed a bailout," it looks like State Treasurer Richard Mourdock is continuing his campaign to surpass Dan Burton as the Hoosier State's craziest elected politician. Here's the latest installment:
Mourdock said Indiana's being the only state to file suit was his "Rosa Parks moment. I knew there would be consequences for taking this on," he said.

The suit to block the merger was dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court, but he hopes the pension issue returns to court to recover the losses to the state fund.

Does anyone take this guy seriously anymore?

A better comparison (4.00 / 1)
is probably George A. Custer !

competition (0.00 / 0)
Tony Bennett, the state superintendent of schools, is probably tied with Murdock for being a wingnut who says and does embarrassing things. No one takes him seriously anymore either.

Sadly Bennett (4.00 / 1)
has a much greater opportunity to screw up the lives and careers of thousands of Hoosier teachers and their students.

Wow (4.00 / 2)
The guy spends over $2 million of the taxpayers money tilting a windmills then has the gall to put himself in the same sentence with Rosa Parks.
If we can't vote this shrub out of office we truly are in bad shape.
Within the state government we hear all kinds of stories about Tony "oh you mean that creationism" Bennett and none of it is good.  The Department of Education has become his own personal employment agency.

There are times... (4.00 / 3)
I think this is actually performance art.  But Mitch would have probably gone with Larry the Cable Guy if that was the case.

OK, two things here: (4.00 / 2)
First, the IDOE stopped being important long ago.  They're barely relevant.

Secondly, the answer to your question is: "yes."  Murdock's hair dye finally seeped into his brain, Keady-style.

We must find a candidate to oppose this guy, period.
