I love when I am cruising through non-Florida based news sources and come across a local reference that highlights something unique about Tampa Bay or just Florida.  Usually it is something good.  Not always though.

Now granted Radar seems to be a lefty version of our own TBT* but I thought their column on America’s Dumbest Congressmen was a pretty cute idea.  Scrolling down through the list of Elephants and Jackasses will give people of just about every political stripe a few grins.  My face lit up like Mark Foley’s at a Boy Scout retreat (I’m going to hell for that one) when I saw our dear friend Katherine Harris at #1.  That is right, out of 535 members of Congress we won again.

Radar’s Holly Martins writes,

It’s the sort of unhinged megalomania that makes us giddy.

Me too Holly.

    Awesome. Good for Radar. They’re more or less right on the money.

    Dear, dear Kitty ought to relish this “honor” while she can. It’ll be probably be the last thing she’s ranked Number One in before being relegated to the obscure dustbin of political history…

    My favorite radio show covered the story this morning (you can catch the interview on the video rerun loop until tomorrow morning).
