Repeal the 17th?

Did you know that teabaggers are pushing to repeal the 17th amendment to the Constitution, which provides for the direct popular election of Senators?

You can read all about it here, along with amusing tales of the Republican party, which first embraced this idiotic proposal, and is now apparently running away from it as fast as possible.

Lessons to learn from this ludicrous episode:

1. Teabaggers are lunatics who don't have a clue about what is going on in this country, or how to deal with it.

2. Republicans do not have a shred of principle or belief, and will go along with any stupid, malicious thing as long as they think it will get them votes.

Of course, who didn't know that already?
