Rohrabacher Stays True to Himself: Crazy, Condescending and Sexist

SwingStateProject beat me to the punch on yet another example of Dana Rohrabacher being awful.  Discussing his reelection bid with a Long Beach newspaper, he said of challenger Debbie Cook:

"She's a very attractive person, physically, and has a title, so I'm taking it seriously."

Translation: "Isn't it cute that a woman would try to challenge me."

Even in a district so oddly willing to being represented by an utter nutjob, it's hard to believe that such naked sexism directed at a popular mayor will fly. Throw in his commentary about "steely-eyed radicals" pushing some hidden agenda beneath the notion of man-made climate change, and it's the whole Crazy Dana package.

It's tough to really guess what the tipping point of mean-spirited insanity might be for Rohrabacher, but now that he's getting pushed, perhaps the process will at least speed up a bit.
