Crazy Candidate of the Day -- Incumbent edition

It's Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) with her crackpot theory about Mexican Hezbollahs or something:



So, let me see if I got this straight, Hezbollah doesn't have enough to do in Syria, so they're going to Venezuela, learning Spanish, then sneaking in to the US to do evil deeds. And they think that if they are stopped by Border Patrol, the smart thing to say is "I'm Mexican!" Oh, you're Mexican? Sorry to bother you senor! Go right on ahead. Here I was worried that you might be one of those Syrians who keep sneaking into San Diego. No, we Border Patrol types welcome Mexicans!

Also, you need to be trained in linguistics to be able to distinguish between Arabic and Spanish? Really? I guess if you think all them foreign languages sound perty much alike to you, and all them sorta brownish people look the same, then you might have trouble telling the difference between a Middle Eastern terrorist and a Mexican migrant.

Also, whenever someone begins with "when you start putting the pieces together. . ." you can just go ahead and tune them out, because what's coming next is going to be a giant crock of craziness.
