How fucking nuts is our Congress?

Just yesterday, I had a crazy quote from the crackpot Westmoreland, and now today, there’s this:

"We could also electrify this wire with the kind of current that would not kill somebody, but it would be a discouragement for them to be fooling around with it. We do that with livestock all the time." — Rep. Steve King (R-IA), quoted by The Hill, equating the containment of immigrants to that of livestock.
Honestly, someone could dedicate an entire blog to the steady stream of ludicrous twaddle that emits from the mouths of Congressmembers.
