GOP Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois, suppressing a fart and ‘thinking’ about stuff.

Remember not-so-bright Tea party favorite Joe Walsh? This guy must REALLY want to lose his seat. How better to go about it than to criticize a war hero who has lost both of her legs??? Or anyone who has lost both of their legs?

Who told him this was a good idea?

Via Talking Points Memo:

Republican Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), knocked his Democratic opponent Tammy Duckworth — a veteran who lost both of her legs as a helicopter pilot in Iraq — for talking about her military career too much. Discussing her accomplishments, Walsh suggested, meant that Duckworth was not a “true [hero].”

Walsh said at a town hall meeting on Sunday that unlike Duckworth, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) rarely spoke about his military service during the 2008 presidential election — a claim that ignores the thrust of McCain’s campaign and his entire political career.

“That’s what’s so noble about our heroes. Now I’m running against a woman who — I mean, my God, that’s all she talks about,” said Walsh, in video posted by Think Progress. “Our true heroes, it’s the last thing in the world they talk about. Our true heroes, the men and women who served us, it’s the last thing in the world they talk about. That’s why we are so indebted and in awe of what they have done.”

A spokeswoman for Duckworth said Walsh’s comments were insulting to all veterans. “Congressman Walsh’s comments insult those who sacrificed to make this country free,” campaign manager Kaitlin Fahey said in a statement. “Tammy is proud of her over 20 years of service with the Army and her family’s legacy of fighting for this country. We can’t recognize our servicemen and women enough and ask that we keep them in our thoughts during this holiday week.”

The Walsh campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.

Because they’re obviously totally dumbfounded by his statement!

I feel sorry for his staffers. How would you feel if you worked for a Tea party dumbass who threw you a hot potato like this one???

Making your constituents want to spit in your fucking face or beat the shit out of you is no way to win an election. SO WHAT IS HIS GAME?

Someone tell me, because I just can’t figure this guy out. Performance art? He’s surreal.
