“Your Cash for Clunkers was the very last card. Now what’s a redneck like me gonna block up in my yard?” — Rep. Bill Otto, R-LeRoy, in an anti-Obama “RedNeck Rap” YouTube video some saw as racist
“It’s not lost on me that we’re both African-American and under 9 feet tall.” — Patrick Woods, Kansas SRS legislative liaison, on an incident in which Otto confused Woods with the much-older Health and Environment Secretary Rod Bremby

Bill Otto is certifiably insane.
Even Repubic Party legislators groan when Otto approaches speaks. He’s such an idiot. People really need to know how crazy this guy is.
The Otto incident needs to be discussed more. There was no way to confuse the two. And I notice you didn’t quote the part that we said was racist- the quote Otto said “oppossum, the other dark meat”. His excuse for the phrase is absurd.

Hey, I’m from the Ozarks too, buddy, and I don’t think there is a single person there who aint racist. I remember singing racist songs on the school bus. I didn’t know any better. I didn’t even know the phrase ‘catch a tiger by the toe’ until I moved to Kansas. We learned that little ditty a whole different way.
Thank goodness my mother wasn’t a racist and she moved me away from that environment. I might be an entirely different person today.
So what…., this is inane.
