Friday's Freaky Absurdities: Elon Musk Shocked, Shocked to Find Mass Voter Fraud Happening in Connecticut and Other Unintentional Hilarity

Don’t look now, but disgraced former GOP congressweasel Adam Kinzinger is still angling for that high-paid contributor gig at MSNBC:

Here’s an excerpt from that story at RedState:

Kinzinger trotted out on the set of CBS' "The Stephen Colbert Show" to hawk his new book, and promptly compared newly-elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to Afghanistan's Taliban, one of the most horrendous Islamist terrorist organizations on the planet. Ridiculous? Of course. 

Nevertheless, in response to Cobert's set-up question, Kinzinger gleefully took the bait.

The Bible is what—the Bible is something that, you know, for me, I use it as a guide for my life. I'm a Christian, right? The Bible shows me how to live my life, but I think this country was founded on the idea that a representative represents not just people that [sic] share his faith or her faith but people that you represent — 700,000 people that I represented, they all don't believe the same thing I do. 

Kinzinger then played the Taliban card.

I'm not any more of a congressman for a certain set of people than I am for others and that's what this country was founded on, the idea that we are going to protect churches existence but we're not going to be a government based on the church. 

That's what the Taliban tried out in Afghanistan[,] is [sic] a government that's based simply on a religious focus. We can be people that are spiritual people in government, but recognize that doesn't include anybody else that's [sic] atheist, Jewish, Muslim, or anything else in this country. This is a free country. 

[End]

I know this clown served his country in the military, but the “honor” part of that obviously didn’t rub off on him.
