White GOP Lawmaker Wants to be Black R-Knoxville

[Egalia]

This wacko says Fox News wants to do a national story on this. Be still my aching head. Tennessee gets to be a laughingstock again.

State Rep. Stacey Campfield wants to join the Black Caucus.

The ultra rightwing Republican is white (very), and, as his behavior indicates, he seems to suffer from a brain deficit.

The East Tennessee Republican says that when he was told that he could not join the Black Caucus because he is white, he thought, “What? Whoa!”

It’s not clear what part of “Black” the lawmaker doesn’t understand.

Black Caucus Chairman, Rep. Johnny Shaw put it mildly when he said, “Stacey Campfield is a strange guy. That's the best I can say.”

It’s anybody’s guess what goes on in what passes for Campfield’s mind. Perhaps he will soon be asking to join the women’s caucus.

Campfield implies in several media accounts that he might pursue the membership again in the future.

The Republican’s claim that he has actually had a thought in his lifetime is both amusing and debatable. Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville) is famous in some circles for his difficulties with the complexities of 3rd grade writing skills. When Campfield began blogging a few months back, conservative bloggers were so alarmed by his difficulties with the language that they assisted him in the fine art of spell checking.

Campfield is also famous for insulting his constituents.

Shortly after I started blogging, I wrote about Campfield’s distressingly unprofessional and illiterate correspondence with one of his constituents. This correspondence (and much more) has been extensively documented by college student and writer, Jon Fish.

Lest you think I exaggerate, below are a few examples of what passes for public service in the ‘mind’ of Stacey Campfield.

1. Stacey Campfield is a flaming idiot!!

He's in Knoxville, where I live, but thankfully, my representative is one of East Tennessee's few Democrats.

Stacey's just really, really, really odd.
