Embarrassing The Hands That Feed Him?

The great state of Colorado has the dubious privilege of being represented in the House by Douglas Bruce (R-Colorado Springs). His latest shenanigan:

Disparaging remarks aimed at migrant workers got resident House rabble-rouser Douglas Bruce banned from speaking on a temporary-worker bill today.

“We don’t need 5,000 more illiterate peasants in the state of Colorado,” Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, told the chamber to an audible gasp.

Rep. Kathleen Curry, leading the House at the time, immediately barred Bruce from speaking at the podium, an uncommon maneuver.

“How dare you?” she asked Bruce, before House members moved back to discussion of a bill aimed at helping seasonal farm workers from other countries enter the state legally on a temporary basis.

Previous shenanigans include:

The freshman lawmaker faced censure earlier this year for kicking a news photographer.

Republicans later removed him the powerful State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee because he refused to co-sponsor a resolution honoring military veterans.

He’s not only a dumb hatemonger, he’s also a politically tone-deaf dumb-ass?

If you’d like to raise your blood pressure further, here are the details of the kick-ass incident.

I have three questions:
— Is this guy a dick, or what?
— If the kicking incident represents Bruce compensating for penis size, could his penis be longer than two inches? Fully erect, I mean. (Just as an aside, can you imagine Bruce receiving those “increase your penis size” junk mails the first time, and wondering: “How the hell did they know?”)
— Does anyone know why the preponderance of real assh*les in Congress tend to be Republicans?
