Idaho GOP bringing the crazy

This statement from Idaho Congressman Bill Sali has been getting some big play on the intertubes today,

[Sali] continued by saying there '"could be up to 40 barrels of oil " in a single tree.


This is Kaminsky level crazy.

I was in Idaho last week for about 5 days and, as usual, I was reading the local community newspapers. One in particular really jumped out at me, it was in the small rafting town of Riggins and it read like it was written by a staff of militiamen and commenters from Michelle Malkin's blog.

Outside of the staff pieces though they also published about half-a-dozen press releases from Sali's office and pieces praising Sali's work in Congress. Impressive stuff as I'm sure you can imagine.

Sali's constituents are apparently wingnut caricatures so it's nice to see they are being represented by a fellow traveler.
