Idiot who's an absolute idiot defeated

Referring to Idaho congressman Bill Sali, the Conservative Fool Of The Day entry for 1/17/07 said, "This is the type of guy who makes our job too damn easy!" The entry said that Sali is "not one of these 'uptown conservafools' like Tom Ridge. ... Sali has more of a kooky air about him."

Idaho House Speaker Bruce Newcomb once said of Sali, "That idiot is just an absolute idiot." No truer words were ever spoken. A doctor who Sali visited after a car crash said Sali was exaggerating his injuries to help him in a lawsuit against the driver he hit, and so the doctor would prescribe him more drugs.

When Sali won his congressional seat in 2006, freshman Republicans chose Sali as their class leader - which proves how much of a master of disaster he was. To express his opposition to increasing the minimum wage, he introduced a bill to abolish the law of gravity.

But guess what?

Yesterday, Bill Sali losed.

He got defeated in his reelection bid - in a heavily Republican district, no less.

I guess we don't have this clod to laugh at anymore. But I'm sure he'll try to seek some office again.
