Rep. Bob Morris, Prince of Derp
And the sad, foolish Indiana state representative is clinging desperately to his 15 minutes of fame. In the face of opposition and ridicule from his party leader, he clings to his stupid and mendacious opinion on Girl Scouts.
Undaunted by ridicule from the leader of his own party, an Indiana lawmaker is standing by his allegations that the Girl Scouts is a radical organization that promotes abortions and homosexuality.It is almost a shame that the people running this fool won't give him the leeway to back down.
The scouts and Planned Parenthood have dismissed Rep. Bob Morris' comments as absurd, as did Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma. But Morris, a Republican, told The Associated Press his critics need to do more research into the 100-year-old scouting organization.
"My family and I took a view and we're sticking by it," Morris said Tuesday, adding that his daughters were joining an alternative group for young girls run by conservative Christians. "My girls are no longer Girl Scouts. They're now going to join American Heritage Girls."
Morris' comments were the butt of jokes inside the House on Tuesday, with Bosma spending much of the day handing out Thin Mints to lawmakers. He joked that Morris' comments led him to buy hundreds of cases of the famous Girl Scout cookies.

Morris' comments are why I bought a couple of boxes of thin mints from a couple of chirpy enthusiastic Girl Scouts on Friday evening. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it ;).
