Idiot Republican Remembers Leonard Nimoy As Best Republican EVER!

What they said
For a guy who claims to be the hugest Star Trek fan in this galaxy or any other, Oregon state Rep. Bill Post is kind of a moron. After we learned last week of the death of Leonard Nimoy (not a Republican), who played the beloved (but, ahem, fictional) character of Mr. Spock (also not a Republican), Post took to the floor of the Legislature to pay tribute to an actor-slash-fictional-character who was, apparently, a better Republican than even Abraham Lincoln, St. Ronald Reagan, or Martin Luther King, Jr.:
Today is a sad day in history. Today the greatest Republican in the history of the galaxy — he was a legal alien, who believed in prosperity — passed away. Leonard Nimoy.
At the risk of insulting the intelligence of our readers by superfluously pointing out the obvious, as Addicting Info notes:
Of course, neither Spock nor Nimoy were Republicans. Star Trek is pro-science and about a big government in search of a utopian society. Its themes were equality (although the original Star Trek was sexist) and peace. There was no money on the Starship Enterprise. There were no rich or poor. All basic needs were provided for, including health care.
One of Spock’s most famous quotes was, “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” But oh well, what’s reality got to do with anything, especially when you’re trying to honor the memory of Leonard Spock, who cared nothing about reality or logic? Like he always never said: live long, prosper, and vote Republican!
This, from NASA astronaut Terry W. Virts, is a much better tribute, don’t ya think?
