Time Out, While We Beam with Pride

Charles Pierce in Esquire:

I have a number of very close friends in North Carolina whom I love dearly, so I ask this in all Christian charity. 
WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE LIVING, BREATHING, TATTOOED GOD IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?
Whom did you people elect? The people with the brightest bulbs for a nose? The people with the biggest, floppiest shoes? Does every member of the Republican majority in your legislature all arrive at work every morning in the same tiny car? First, we had the We-Can-Establish-A-State-Religion bill, and then we had the Tax-Yo-Mama-If-You-Vote-Obama bill. Caligula would be ashamed to bring his horse before these people for a vote....

I particularly like this statement from the Esquire article: "Putting aside my bedazzlement at the ability of North Carolina legislators to break new ground in the field of completely wasting time.."

I haven't yet quite found the superlative to accurately describe the lunacy in the North Carolina General Assembly.

However, "Insane Clown Posse" as noted here http://ncbackward.com/ seems to be a good start.
