Really, how stupid do you have to be to get elected in New Hampshire?

Friday Boston Globe headline:

Two N.H. lawmakers in hot water over Facebook posts about Palin

Rep. Timothy Horgan of Durham resigned after he wrote on his Facebook page that a “dead Palin wd be even more dangerous than a live one,’’ and said she “is all about her myth & if she was dead she cdn’t commit any more gaffes.’’

Right. Like Horgan’s.

Next up:

Keith Halloran, a House candidate from Rindge, apologized yesterday for posting a death wish for Palin on Facebook.

Halloran had commented Tuesday in response to a Republican lawmaker’s post about the plane crash that killed former Alaska senator Ted Stevens. When the lawmaker expressed disappointment that some news accounts of Stevens’s death focused on negative aspects of his career, Halloran responded: “Just wish Sarah and Levy were on board,’’ an apparent reference to Palin and her daughter’s former boyfriend, Levi Johnston.

So, to summarize: At least part of the New Hampshire media-political complex is a bunch of idiots.

But we’re not quite ready to say that on Facebook.
