Tom Cotton: Dumber than Michele Bachmann?


GOP Senator Tom Cotton - the numb nuts who dreamed up the Senate Republican letter to Iran - seems to be on a mission to (i) prove he's even dumber than Michele Bachmann and (ii) destroy any pretense the GOP may have had that it was the superior party when it comes to foreign policy.  On Face the Nation yesterday, Cotton proved he seemingly know little or no geography and is likely challenged when he tries to walk and chew gum at the same time.  All he needs to do now is learn to mimic the Bachmann "crazy eye" stare and he will truly be the male version of Bachmann - which, of course, will make him the darling of the knuckle draggers of the GOP base.  An article in The Raw Story looks at Cotton's idiocy on display.  Here are excerpts:
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Sunday cited Iran’s control of their own capital, Tehran, as a reason that the country had to be stopped from obtaining a nuclear weapon. 

In a interview on CBS, Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer pointed out that Cotton’s letter to Iran, which was also signed by 46 other Republican senators, may have undermined President Barack Obama’s ability to get a nuclear deal with Iran.

“Moreover, we have to stand up to Iran’s attempts to drive for regional dominance,” he continued. “They already control Tehran and, increasingly, they control Damascus and Beirut and Baghdad. And now, Sana’a as well.”

Cotton told Schieffer that he had “no regrets at all” about sending the letter to Iran. 
 As I have said before, to be a Republican nowadays, one must be (i) insane, (ii) a religious fanatic, (iii) white supremacist, and/or (iv) have had a lobotomy.   Cotton seems to meet both categories (i) and (iv).
