In a survey of the Craziest Politicians of 2014, GQ had difficulty locating any Democrats. Seventeen out of 20 on the list were Republicans, with the only liberals being Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson and Americas reigning nabob of nuttiness, Joe Biden.

What Republican tea party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back. It is not going to happen on our watch. Wait, Im confused, this abuse already happened, is happening but its not going to happen?
