The 2012 Award For Obtuseness

Feb 3rd, 2012

It's clearly time to start the planning phase and begin nominations for the "Most Obtuse Political Crank Of The Year" Award. Do we have our first nominee? Oh... You Betcha.

I present you with Rep. Mike Pompeo's (R-KS)  Politico Op-Ed from yesterday.

"Even if Koch Industries had a financial interest in the Keystone XL pipeline (as if they might not have one), what possibly could be wrong with that?

Perhaps more important, under what circumstances would such an interest be worthy of a congressional inquisition?" EMPHASES OURS

Seriously? Really? We are speechless. We expect you folks to 'inquire' because it's your job to do so even if they are giving you money.

That said... we have our first nominee.
