I'm beginning to think that North Carolina Senator Libby Dole, married to one-time Kansan Bob Dole, might be the dimmest bulb in the United States Senate.
Now I don't follow North Carolina politics closely, but here are two real bone-headed moves.
1. Dole is trying to name a bill for giving funds to AIDS victims in the developing world after Helms--a homophobe and racist
2. According to a report in the Hill newspaper, an ad aired by North Carolina Republican Elizabeth Dole taking credit for saving North Carolina military installations actually included images of a French-made Dassault Super Etendard fighter jet, which was last seen in combat action being flown by Saddam Hussein's Air Force during the Iran-Iraq War.
"The government should spend less money on people with AIDS because they got sick as a result of deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct." At a different time, he contextualized his comments by saying, "Nothing positive happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, and nothing positive is likely to happen to America if our people succumb to the drumbeats of support for the homosexual lifestyle." He once said that AIDS prevention literature was "so obscene, so revolting, I may throw up.".

She is pretty dim. Her claims regarding saving North Carolina's military bases are just plain silly. Ft. Bragg, Seymour Johnson Air Force base and Camp Lejeune, in particular, are major installations with key roles in our national defense. They've ever been in danger of closing, and probably never will be (at least in our lifetimes) Perhaps if she spent some time in NC, aside from campaign trips, she might be a little more clued in to stuff like that...
So, where IS Libby these days?
