Goodbye Steve Stockman

The Daily Beast says Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) — who lost his GOP Senate primary in Texas — “practically bilked his donors by running the most unserious campaign in recent American history.”

“American politics has been rife with liars, crooks, and con artists ever since our country’s founding. But they invariably put in at least some effort to convince voters of their virtue and donors to cut a check. Stockman is different. He has failed to give Texans even the modicum of respect required to actively scam them. Stockman just may be the lamest, laziest grifter in the history of the United States and his departure from public life can only improve the political discourse in our country.”
