If you are new to this story, Stacey Campfield is the white Tennessee lawmaker who tried to join the state's Legislative Black Caucus. The Republican said he wanted to see how the Black Caucus spent its money. If you're not new to the story, scroll down to see the Washington Post account, in which Campfield succeeds in his effort to make this state a national joke, again.
