Republican State Senator Sends Letter Praising "Extraordinary Gallantry" of Syrian Armed Forces

Yes, it's our old friend Virginia State Senator Dick Black (R-Homophobia), who among other things has made some seriously insane comments over the years: Polygamy "just more natural" than homosexuality; Dick Black Rails Against Gays in the Military; Dick Black on Spousal Rape, "Nighties," etc.; claimed that "children that have a homosexual parent, approximately 29% of children are molested by that parent;" etc, etc. So, yeah, the guy's an extremist nutjob, but what's really shocking is that he's one of just 40 Virginia State Senators. And a Republican, of course. Ugh.
