Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is a thread about Heather Scott. Ms. Scott, a legislator who comes from a community so small the "entering town" and "leaving town" signs are on the same post, rose in opposition to a new law allowing Idaho to remain in the Powerball lottery network when it expands to England and Australia.
These are her exact words:
I don't like the fact we're going into communist countries," she said. It just doesn't make sense that Idaho wants to expand our gambling into communist countries.
After she said this about England and Australia, neither of which have ever been communist, she said this: I don't know why you're all laughing, but I don't appreciate it.

In short, you know you're a dumbass when members of your own party laugh at your stupidity.
