Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC), who is the Other Black House Republican Besides Allen West, is your newest Senator from South Carolina, after Jim Demint left to grift money at the Heritage Foundation! YAY!!! Many people think that Tim Scott is somehow better because he is more moderate than Allen West, which is sort of like a fried Snickers bar being healthier than a fried Twinkie because it is covered in slightly less batter. Also because, much like a Twinkie, Allen West was defeated and therefore no longer really exists.
As cynical as this pick obviously is, this is still the first black Senator from the South since Reconstruction. That's a big deal. Who knew racism could end up being racially progressive, whilst continuing to be incredibly racist! My mind is twisting just thinking about it.

This is what happens when you are raised on Chic-Fil-A and Lawrence Welk.
Not paying off the debt from his vanity Presidential campaign. That's still out there.
When George Norris was a progressive Senator from Nebraska he pushed through a law that senatorial candidates would not be identified by party.
His opponents promptly found a grocery store owner named George Norris to run against him.
