    Still crazy as a shithouse rat and a true beliver of terrible and stupid things.

    My understanding from reading past analysis of things she said is that it’s safe to say that she hasn’t actually believed everything she’s said, but saw it as politically-useful to take those positions.

    Which I think is something of a sad statement about the voters in her congressional district (in northwestern Georgia, as I recall). But I don’t think that it’s necessarily that she personally is uniquely crazy.

    EDIT: Yeah, Georgia’s 14th district, and it’s up in the northwest corner of Georgia. I was originally looking it up because I was commenting on the fact that Georgia has had some of the craziest Republican and Democratic House Representatives that have wound up getting national press time and I was curious how far apart their districts were.

    It looks like her predecessor, Tom Graves, also resigned and left the seat vacant for some time, rather than just announcing that he wouldn’t run in the next election.
