I swear you can't make this shit up.
You think politicians can't dumbfound you anymore, even after Rep. Todd Akin says "legitimate rape" can't get women pregnant and Rep. Paul Broun calls evolution a lie from the "pit of hell." But then, Arkansas State Rep. Jon Hubbard goes and writes a book. Its called, "Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative," and inside it he espouses a unique view of African-American history, asserting that slavery and we quote here "may actually have been a blessing in disguise." Sure, there was all that lynching, beating, raping, shackling, etc. that part obviously sucked. But once that was over, black people were and again we quote "rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth." Yeah
were sure that made it all worth it, Jon
