Wisconsin Republican State Senator Glenn Grothman caused me to stop what I was doing and stare at the TV screen last night. I couldn’t believe I was hearing right. But I was. He said that protesters in Wisconsin were nothing but a bunch of slobs stinking up the State House. Evidently earlier he had called them dirty hippies.

I’m not surprised that he believes that, I’m just surprised that he said it out loud. He went on to say that he believes that the protesters are nothing but a bunch of unemployed people or college students who are looking for somewhere to go. Politicians are usually more circumspect in what they say on national TV. But this guy’s been drinking some polluted water.

It seems that Senator Grothman is prone to sticking his neck out. His homepage talks about how there should be no kindergarten for 4-year olds. Clearly he doesn’t want unruly children emulating their teachers by turning schools into pigsties. Do you have any idea how troublesome a bunch of little fingers covered in peanut butter and jelly can be?

I don’t know much about his congressional district. Maybe they really do think that policemen, and firemen, and prison guards, and teachers, and four-year-olds are despicable, stinking, worthless human beings. But I’ll bet that there are enough despicable, stinking, worthless human beings there to stink up a voting booth on occasion. They are already chanting “shame” at the Senator.
