Corbett Hires a Frothing Sharia-Law-Fearing Birther to be a Legislative Liaison

After Corbett failed to get any of the 3 major legislative priorities enacted this year, top Republican legislators told him he had to replace his top staffers. Unfortunately, Corbett's lack of judgement came through. The attached link is definitely worth a read, and is also entertaining.

Excerpts:

"Kitchen Table Patriots founder Ana Puig is as tea party as they come. In recent years, she has promoted an event featuring topics including “The Muslim Brotherhood and creeping sharia law in America” and “Pro-Islamic bias and indoctrination in our public school textbooks.”

Puig also has her own pet conspiracy theory about the President’s “model for implementation of 21st century Marxism” in which she blames the media, the entertainment industry, and schools for branding the Messiah (President Obama) into our society.

There is no effing way this person just happened to pop up needing a mid-tier gubbermint job and not a single member of Tom Corbett's office bothered to scroll down the ol' resume to read the parts written in squirrel blood and decorated with glitter explaining how Obama is the Kenyan Muslim Marxist Antichrist. Not in an environment in which all of the other peons have to surrender their Facebook passwords and pee in a cup when begging for a nice non-salt-mine-related job, not a chance. The only conclusion is that the Republican Party is so riddled with frothing crazy people that it is entirely impossible to separate them out and still keep a working office staff."
