Today's Dispatches From The Stupid Party

Today's stupid (it burns!) from the heartland of the Stupid Party * :

Idaho:
"A [Rethuglican] state senator [Sheryl Nuxoll] in Idaho is expressing her distaste for President Obama’s health care reform law by drawing a comparison between the private insurance companies participating in Obamacare and the 'Jews boarding the trains to concentration camps' during the Holocaust."
Missouri:
"A Republican state senator [Dan Brown] in Missouri has proposed legislation that would make gun safety a mandatory part of the first-grade curriculum."
Tennessee:
"The bill, SB 234, still bars Tennessee teachers from discussing any facet of “non-heterosexual” sexuality with children in grades K-8. But the newest iteration also includes a provision requiring teachers or counselors to inform the parents of some students who identify themselves as LGBT." [More about the bill's author here.]
And last (but we're sure won't be the last), Mississippi Rethuglican Jeff Smith:


* Thank you, Gov. Bobby "Kenneth" Jindal!
