50. Luckily it isn't bad at the federal level

Mon Feb 3, 2020, 11:04 PM

Feb 2020

But we've had a couple doozies on the state level:

Michele Fiori: Brassy, loudmouth, not bright. Currently in Las Vegas City Council. Known best for shouting "sit your punk ass down" at a fellow legislator who had the floor. Joined and supported the Bundys at their first armed occupation.

Sharron "Obtuse" Angle: a ditzy nutcase who challenged Harry Reid for his Senate seat. Basically a female Rick Santorum.
