Georgia Congressman Lynn Westmoreland Makes Himself Look Like an Idiot…Again
Posted on 04. Sep, 2008 by Daniel Taylor in Politics
Virginia GEORGIA (thanks anon) Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, who despite wanting to display the 10 Commandments in the Halls of Congress, famously couldn't name them when asked on camera by Stephen Colbert (as shown in the video above) made himself look even more like an idiot today when he called Barack Obama "uppity" while discussing his new hero Sarah Palin:
"Just from what little I've seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.
Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,†Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.â€
Of course, he omitted the second word that almost always follows a Southerner's use of the term uppity in reference to a black man who is acting a little above his station, but anybody with a brain knows what he means. Ah! AMERICA!!
He’s from GA, not VA.
this is absolute genius!
brilliant, but a quick correction — he’s from GA, not VA
