Basically this elected official in Wisconsin wants to boycott Arizona because their immigration law is overkill. Says it would make sense "if Arizona was a border state" but they aren't.

Wow.  And I thought Oklahoma state elected officials were dumb...nice to know we don't hold a monopoly on those.

"We should help 'The Iraq'"

I've missed that comment for some time.  Thanks for the memories.  What do you suppose she's doing for a living these days?

This is beyond "Nitally Lions" or "This is a bucking big deal" or "I want to know whose donkey to kick"

This is absolute ignorance of American Geography and knee-jerking to an issue she didn't seem well-versed in at all.  What year were we taught geography? 7th grade?  Most of us already knew our states and their proximity to each other by the time we were in first grade.

Maybe she thought border states refered to the border states during the civil war...

She's a perfect representative for the full quarter of Americans who don't know who we declared independence from.  (http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/07/26-of-americans-dont-know-us-declared-independence-from-great-britain.php?ref=fpb)

That is her? Wow, I've seen a couple of episodes with them in it, and I often wonder why you would let two people of such lacking intelligence breed together.

I think they call it 'natural selection'.

Sorry, just couldn't resist that.
