The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...Courtney Combs!

Ohio State Rep. Courtney Combs (R-Hamilton) has long been a villain to be laughed at.

One of his big causes was his proposal to force the state to stop printing an important pamphlet for crime victims in Spanish. Combs's bill would have been of questionable legality, and a survey indicated his idea was unpopular as well.

Now Combs has an even sillier plan, and he's getting ridiculed for it too. Now he's introduced a bill to require everyone who registers a car to provide proof of citizenship or valid travel papers. Everyone in the whole state.

So people have to be inconvenienced now just so Courtney Combs can spout off? When you register a car, you already need a driver's license and Social Security card, so his proposal is just a layer of red tape that doesn't even accomplish anything. I think he knows it, but he's using this issue as a distraction from his party's many failures.

In a word, this effort makes Combs look like the ineffective kook he is. But when U.S. citizens are inconvenienced by it, we can't sit back and let it go unchallenged.
