Thad Cochran admits to "indecent things with animals"

Oh. My. Gosh.

Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi) is one of these far-right incumbents who has a Tea Party challenger in the primary even though he's already so right-wing that a Tea Party opponent is just redundant. That Tea Party challenger - Chris McDaniel (not to be confused with a local far-right legislator of the same name) - topped Cochran in the recent primary, and now they face a runoff.

McDaniel has had at least a couple scandals during this campaign. First, his campaign operatives snuck into Cochran's wife's room at a nursing home and took photos of her for an attack video. Then, when McDaniel campaigners locked themselves in the Hinds County Courthouse on election night - suspiciously surrounded by ballots - they couldn't get their story straight as to what they were doing there.

Now Cochran has just made this election even more bizarre than it already was. While campaigning in the Hattiesburg area, Cochran said that when he was growing up, he did "all kinds of indecent things with animals."

Oh my.
