The folks of the Idaho Republican Party thought that the government shutdown was swanky and smooth.  They wanted to shut down something, too.

They picked themselves.

No, seriously, the Idaho Republican Party shut themselves down at their state convention.  They spent three days in Boise and accomplished nothing.  Okay, so accomplishing nothing is a byproduct of Republicanism, but this one was a real doozie.

Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho), the convention chairman, ended up bringing the meeting to an end before delegates could elect a new state party chair or vote on any party platform amendments, as they had set out to do.

“This is as low as the party can go,” said Labrador, according to the AP. “We have hit bottom. I think the party has no choice but to go up from here.”

The turmoil doesn’t bode well for Labrador, who announced his intent to run for House majority leader last week.

Hell, getting everybody to fight with each other so nothing gets done puts him the the damn lead for Cantor’s job.

Republicans:  putting a halt to humanity!

Thanks to Sharon for the heads up.
