Leaders the scary ones

Sat., Feb. 16, 2013

So “non-racist” Brent Regan describes President Barack Obama as “black and scary-looking,” yet can’t spell the president’s name or get his title correct. And some folks think that somehow disqualifies Regan to be a school board member … in Idaho?

If anything, judging by state Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll’s comparison of insurance companies under Obamacare to Jews killed in the Holocaust, perhaps the problem is that Regan is simply serving below his appropriate station. His intellect is obviously wasted at the local level.
