First of all, let me say that no one could have predicted that this man’s actions would be a colossal waste of time and taxpayer money nor that his statements would be crazy, stupid, and wrong.

I say that as preface to noting that (and this will blow your mind, man!) (soon to be former) Congressman Allen West’s recount efforts and legal challenges have not worked.

As crazy as it sounds, Florida voters in that district did not choose to send back to Congress a man who just spent two years in Washington looking for Communists. And he checked everywhere, from the men’s bathroom in the east corner of the third floor of the Rayburn House Office Building all the way coat check counter on the south side of the United States Capitol.

Instead, they plumped for some moderate Democrat who opposes privatizing Social Security and Medicare.

Must have been voter fraud. Only reasonable explanation.
