Today's Happy Hopping Moron: Joe Walsh

It's one thing to slander your average person for alleged superficiality that they don't exhibit. It's another thing entirely to inaccurately deride a combat veteran that way, when simply being a combat veteran should mean we at least give them the benefit of the doubt for having a serious bone or two in their bodies (assuming their bones weren't all blown out by a grenade).

But that didn't stop Republican Representative Joe Walsh from saying of his combat veteran opponent -- who has already debated him twice and has three more debates scheduled with him -- that, "It has become abundantly clear that at this point the only debate Ms. Duckworth is actually interested in having is which outfit she’ll be wearing for her big speech."

So for making such an obviously stupid, degrading slander about one of America's finest, a combat veteran who has demonstrated a clear capacity for serious issues, Joe Walsh is today's Happy Hopping Moron.
