We interrupt your perfect College Football Saturday to bring you a little bit of politics

Ya'll still have the short term to remember the " I am not a witch" commercial out of Delaware, right? Well in a year when the inmates are completely running the asylum, she has been topped.
Meet Rich Iott. ( it's not Lott, it's an "I".. eye•ott ), Tea Party Darling! Any day now you will be seeing his.... ( wait for it...).. his I am not a Nazi commercial. Yes, Mr. Iott, and a group of his Aryan Ohio Buddies like to get together and dress up as Nazi's. Really.

Nazi SS Waffen Uniform.

From THE ATLANTIC : "Iott, whose district lies in Northwest Ohio, was involved with a group that calls itself Wiking, whose members are devoted to re-enacting the exploits of an actual Nazi division, the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking, which fought mainly on the Eastern Front during World War II. Iott's participation in the Wiking group is not mentioned on his campaign's website, and his name and photographs were removed from the Wiking website." ( the rest )

You know he has come back with , " HEY!  it's all about history, I'm just a big history buff!" Note to Mr. Iott... There were other countries in this war. Choose a different uniform next time?
