Tancredo a national laughingstock

Rolling Stone has joined Esquire in naming CD6 Republican Tom Tancredo one of America's worst 10 legislators. The magazine labels Tancredo "Mr. Bigotry" and points out that even the extremely conservative National Review has called him "an idiot."

I grew up in CD6. I know for a fact that the voters there are reasonable, good people living busy lives. But their refusal to pay attention to politics has allowed them to elect an absentee representative whose national posturing has made the district look like the home of hate. My hometown deserves better. It deserves Bill Winter.

Hat-tip to Square State.
