The oddest news story of the past week is the curious case of Ohio congressional candidate Rich Iott. In case you’re unfamiliar with this stalwart defender of American values and the Constitution, Iott is a Republican and a tea party darling who’s running for a seat in the House of Representatives from Ohio’s 9th District.
But what makes Citizen Iott so unique is that his favorite pastime is to dress up in full Nazi regalia and reenact battles that the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking fought in. There are a lot of frightening aspects to this story, but the main point you need to know is that somebody who wants to be in Congress also enjoys wearing an SS uniform.
Now, I read various reports in which Comrade Iott stated he likes to dress up like a mass murderer and perpetuator of genocide not because he admires the Nazis per se, but because he respects any soldier who fights for his country and sacrifices his life. And I agree. Pretending to be a member of an army unit that, according to Wikipedia, murdered at least seven hundred Jews and committed other atrocities really isn’t as bad as the liberal media would have you believe.
You’ve no doubt heard that the Democrats are in trouble in the upcoming November elections. Perhaps they should follow the example of Herr Iott, and embrace a more cunning political strategy that would appeal to the Tea Party and tip things in favor of the Democratic Party.
For example, if Harry Reid would only dress up like a member of the Akuzu, the Hutu-led group responsible for the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s, he’d be guaranteed a swift and decisive victory over his opponent Sharron Angle.
Barbara Boxer need only gather a few friends and act out the Nanking Massacre, and her seat in the Senate would no doubt suddenly become ultra-safe.
Once the inevitable happens and we have that horse serving in the Senate, I can only hope a bill giving free pony rides to every American will be introduced and swiftly passed.
