Allen West won't tap Joyce Kaufman

Allen West Won't Tap Right-Wing Radio Host

On Monday, demagogic, Islam-hating Rep.-elect Allen West (R-Fla.) caused his first congressional controversy. Today, he announced his first flip-flop.

The firebrand tea partying West, who as an Army officer confessed to abusing detainees and won a conservative South Florida district last week, today reneged on a Monday promise to appoint right-wing radio host Joyce Kaufman as his congressional chief of staff. Kaufman is a fellow demagogue who spends her air time railing against Muslims, touting an "infidel" ballcap she wears, advocating the hanging of illegal immigrants, and saying Jews who vote for Barack Obama "don't embrace being Jews anymore." West's office made the announcement this morning in a statement:



West's rhetoric tracks Kaufman's pretty closely, and they were thick as thieves on the campaign trail. But a counsel for the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct said yesterday that Kaufman's appointment could be "problematic." It appears Republican House leaders may have stepped in, prevailing on West to turn down the crazy and pick a chief of staff who (unlike Kaufman) might actually have a modicum of experience with legislative affairs, media messaging, and constitutent services.

Just sayin'

to tell us what a couple of misogynist pigs we are, I'm sure

if you know what I'm sayin'...

I was hoping the tag team of West and Kaufman together would provide an exhibit just how crazy and extreme some of these teabaggers are.

The only question is, who is crazier: West or Kaufman?

But in the end, I think Allen West alone can demonstrate how utterly insane his ideas are. The man truly is a psychopath.
