State Sen. Stacey Campfield is having a blast at the Republican National Convention and keeping his fans updated on his blog. So far with the festivities just getting under way, he's managed to offend women, African Americans and residents of virtually the entire Gulf Coast.
Under the headline, "Akin wrong? Not so fast ..." Campfield has linked to the commentary of a Knoxville anti-abortion activist who defends Rep. Todd Akin by writing "it has long been believed that stress can interfere with normal reproductive processes. Certainly rape is stressful."
In another post, Campfield revealed "I couldn't give a rat's ass" is the catchphrase of the Tennessee delegation.
"It is all a reference to Sen. Jim Summervilles comments on what he thinks the black caucus can do with their input into a legislative hearing on higher ed. ... If I only had a dollar for every time I have heard "I loved it. He is so right....Of course we cant say it out loud!"
And that little storm out there that's freaking out all those Gulf Coast sissies?
Campfield scoffs. "All I can say is if this is a hurricane then East Tennessee has one about every other week. Seriously. It's not that bad. Some minor wind and intermittent light to medium rain. Nothing bad at all yet."
