Solon: Libya Can Have Our ‘Muslim’

Legislators have made more than their share of bad policy this year. Now they're just making stuff up. Consider this little joke that appeared recently on Rep. Marv Hagedorn's Facebook page. "The Islamic coalition supporting the UN efforts in Libya is having a tough time identifying an Islamic leader suitable to take over when Gaddafi (sic) is overthrown. A retired Navy friend suggested we give them ours..." Get it? President Obama's a Muslim. Yuk, yuk. OK, it wasn't Hagedorn's joke. But the Meridian Republican (pictured) found it amusing enough to spread around/Kevin Richert, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Is Hagedorn's "joke" funny?
