Where are they now?

Tedski at Rum,Romanism and Rebellion has a post up about one of the wackiest of the wacky, former Arizona Mormon state legislator Barbara Blewster of Dewey, Arizona. Apparently Blewster thinks we have an excess of democracy here in the US of A, and wants US Senators to be appointed rather than elected.

Blewster as you may recall, managed to out-Mecham Mecham, insulting Jews, Blacks, gays, and American Indians in her brief time in the legislature. My personal favorite was when she told fellow Republican Barbara Leff that she didn't realize that she was Jewish because she didn't have "a big hooked nose".

Blewster is currently the head of the Arizona Republican Assembly.
