Tennessee, Where The Stupid Is Strong And Long Lasting
Ever since the beginning of the reign of King George the Stupid, when Tennessee first learned the word sharia, the people across the state has trembled in fear of any implementation of the devils own code. This has led to some remarkably stupid events in a state noted for its low double digit IQs. The latest one upholds this great Volunteer State tradition.
Republican lawmakers in Tennessee sprung to action and demanded answers after confusing a mop sink recently installed in the state Capitol for a Muslim foot-washing sink.One might suppose that, given the level of fear generated by the very idea of sharia, some of the Tennessee Troglodytes might do a little research. After all it was only two years ago they did this.
Members of the state House and Senate contacted state Senate Clerk Russell Humphrey to ask if the floor-level sink had been installed outside the House chamber men’s restroom to accommodate Muslims’ ritual of washing their feet before prayer, according to The Associated Press.
“There was concern about why it had been modified,” Humphrey said.
Republican state Sen. Bill Ketron confirmed that he had taken this issue up with Humphrey after state Rep. Judd Matheny (R) became troubled that the sink could be for Muslims.
“I just asked the question about what was the intent of that,” Ketron explained.
Legislative Administration Director Connie Ridley assured the lawmakers in an email that “the facility administrator for the State Capitol Complex that the floor-level sink installed in the men’s restroom outside the House Chamber is for housekeeping use.”
“It is, in layman’s terms, a mop sink,” Ridley said.
In 2011, hundreds of Muslims showed up at the Capitol to protest after Ketron and Matheny sponsored a bill that would have made following Sharia code a felony.Not a chance! In Tennessee this form of stupidity is how state legislators "make their bones".
“Tennessee, like the federal government, has a compelling state interest to protect our citizens from jihad terrorism,” Matheny said at the time.
That measure would have criminalized Muslim foot-washing rituals and dietary restrictions.

Seriously, have potato chips been replaced by lead chips? Because the brain damage, it is accelerating.
The only snark appropriate for this is Wonkette's. Says the multitudinous anonyblogger: "Tennessee avoids sharia scourge of clean feet when basin turns out to be mop sink."
Heh.
