Today it was revealed that Florida congressman Ted Yahoo, R-Yoho — or is it Ted Yoho, R-Yahoo? Yeah, that’s it. No, wait, I think they’re both right; they’re interchangeable — told a hometown Tea Party revival meeting that Obamacare’s 10% tax on tanning salons “is a racist tax” as it only affects white people.
According to one newspaper report, the audio from the meeting shows, “At that point, the crowd at the joint meeting of the [local] Tea Party groups erupted in cheering, laughter and clapping.”
Another elected nitwit defended Yahoo/Yoho, “It’s not racist. It’s not that somebody’s superior to another, but it’s discrimination in that it only taxes one group … which is light-skinned people that usually like the tanning beds.” (That didn’t help.)
Clearly, the body politic’s squamous cell carcinoma has metastasized and is eating its brain…
