Doug Lamborn: Idiot Extraordinaire

Well, I've been so hard on our own side lately it's time to take some flesh from Colorado Springs' own Doug Lamborn - quite possibly the most dull member of our congressional delegation:
"Even if some people say, 'Well the Republicans should have done this or they should have done that,' they will hold the president responsible. Now, I don't even want to have to be associated with him. It's like touching a tar baby and you get it, you're stuck, and you're a part of the problem now and you can't get away," Lamborn said Friday on the Caplis and Silverman Show on 630 KHOW talk radio.
He did apologize after his spokesman spoke the words he should have spoken.

Where does the expression "tar baby" come from? And who uses it anymore? Maybe it's a no-brainer for those who grew up in lily white Kansas and now live in lily white Colorado Springs? But it should be a no-brainer not to use the ignorant and racist expression.

I dont know what to say anymore.
Really. I dont.  

 Do or do not, there is no try.  

Sweet Jesus. Here's a over-explanation :
Ari Armstrong who, ugh... I dunno. I don't want to be mean to him (YOU'RE WELCOME, ARI) but he has a huge excuse as to why Doug Lamborn, who is undoubtedly a racist (COME ON, he's a Republican white male from CD-6 OF COURSE HE'S RACIST), isn't being racist when he calls Obama a tar baby.
