Idiocy should be grounds for immediate removal from any public office.

That definitely includes claiming an ethnic group controls weather with space lasers or whatever it was Horsey was yammering about. Or injecting bleach. Or that Tylenol causes autism.

Actually it seems they're all maximum stupid and crazy, doesn't it.
