A small story in our local paper caught our eye this morning because it was a reminder of how insidious — and trickle-down — Trumpian boorishness is in the Republican Party.
Eighty-nine absentee ballots in Montgomery County in New York State were sent to voters in Amsterdam this month with an error: The name of the GOP's Congressional candidate in NY-20 was missing.
That's because the county's Republican deputy commissioner for the elections board wasn't there to proofread the ballots. He had died in that horrific limousine crash in Schoharie on October 6.
The faulty ballots were quickly called back and new ones mailed to every recipient. Problem solved, time to move on — right?
Nope. The jackass whose name had been left out just couldn't resist acting the victim.
"I personally think the Democrats are crooked and they are doing illegal things," Republican Joe Vitollo said. "I'm missing 500 yard signs in areas where everyone else's signs are up."
Dude, your guy was just killed in a car crash with 19 other people. And you're whining about yard signs? We cats SNARL.
