Sometimes stuff gets so weird you just can't make it up. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin links to a news report today by a Madison TV station that the Wisconsin Secretary of Agriculture -- a loser known around the water cooler as "Ben Brancel" -- described the travails of freshman GOPer legislators like this:
They came to town with a lot of ideas and a lot of concepts they could really work on and then they got stuck in the middle of a holocaust in a horror story that was going on in town... as far as people using the building all night long and some shenanigans

To his minimal credit, the loser recognized he'd stepped in it bigtime:
After he left the podium, we asked him about his use of the word, "holocaust."
"That was a bad word," he said. "It should have been total confusion in the Capitol. It was not an appropriate word to use in the context of which I used it, and I better go back to English school."
It's particularly tasteless, though, coming the day after his governor had carried out a putsch in a vain effort to consolidate his own power.
