Rep. Allen West (R-FL), well known around these parts as being one of the nation's most aggressively stupid congressmen, went to the White House Correspondents Dinner this weekend

Yes, yes. The country is going down the crapper, and only Allen West has figured out that it's because the president makes jokes at Mitt Romney's expense during the media's annual running of the bullpoop. Perhaps there were too few jokes about not finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (always a favorite of mine; every good joke needs a body count behind it). Perhaps it was Jimmy Kimmel making a cruel joke about West, right in front of him, offending West's deeply held belief that you should only insult someone when you are far away from them and don't think you're being filmed. Perhaps the dinner rolls were all secret Marxists. Now, one would think that West would not have attended at all, since he was offended by the whole concept, but there's always the distinct possibility that Allen West just did not know what the White House Correspondents Dinner was when he showed up for it.
