Waxing philosophically

An earwax-eating Democrat seems to have declared that Communism works:

Democratic Florida Rep. Joe Garcia — fresh off being caught eating his own earwax on camera — was caught red-handed (or is it yellow-fingered?) in another gaffe this week, claiming that low crime rates in border cities with lots of federal immigration workers is proof that “Communism works.”

[…]

“Let me give you an example, the kind of money we’ve poured in,” he said. “So the most dangerous — sorry, the safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the Americas, which is Juarez. Right?”

“And two of the safest cities in America, two of them are on the border with Mexico,” Garcia continued. “And of course, the reason is we’ve proved that Communism works. If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”

Huh? What could he have meant?

He later splained:

Garcia, who is of Cuban descent along with many of his south Florida constituents, told the Miami Herald he never meant to espouse Communism — and was instead taking a tongue-in-cheek shot at his GOP opponents.

Oh, I get it now.

It’s those damn Republican Communists!

    You have to hand it to the righties. Only they can a ‘meh’ joke and turn it into a petition worthy outrage. Really, what America needs is more suburban tea party internet warriors really telling the son of Cuban refugees that communism is bad.

    Eric, please go sign the petition. Let Joe Garcia know that Communism is bad.

    Because they’d be more comfortable in Russia, obviously.
