From the what-in-hell? file: Florida lawmakers like this are why the state looks so stupid...

[allegorical oracle]

Outraged by the MAL search, Florida legislator Anthony Sabatini asserts "it's time for us in the Florida Legislature to call an emergency legislative session and amend our laws regarding federal agencies"...Florida "should sever all ties with DOJ immediately" and "any FBI agent conducting law enforcement function outside the purview of our State should be arrested on sight."

What is he talking about?

1. He obviously has no idea what he's talking about.

2. Tell me you are fucking stupid without saying, "I am fucking stupid".

That is what Mr. Sabatini is demonstrating.

The FBI has jurisdiction in ANY STATE where a FEDERAL CRIME may be occurring or have occurred. Local LE agencies certainly have some right not to cooperate with Federal Agencies, but Mr. Sabatini might want to rethink his stance next time Florida has a major, messy case that requires the expertise of the premier domestic law enforcement agency in the Country.

3. Some might even call that secession, Tony.

4. It's not just the lawmakers

To be fair you would have to include the voters who elect imbeciles like Sabatini!

Those very same voters elected Rick Scott as their governor and then to the US Senate...after a company he was head of ripped them off, along with other Americans!

It's not just the politicians who make the state look stupid...it's also the voters!!!

8. Demagoguery like this is what passes for reasoned political discourse here in Florida, and it's the

sort of outlandish statement Republican base voters demand from their elected officials.

5. He's talking about riling up his base by telling them they are all under attack by the Government.

Same thing Ronald Reagan used to do.

6. My hair brush is older than this punk

and it knows more about how government works than Sabatini.

7. All I can do is shake my head.

9. You people seem the think that it's easy to be stupid.

Well, I have it on good authority that it is not easy.

You have to figure out stupid ideas and then verbalize them. That's no picnic.
