Virgil Goode Seems Like A Moron To Me
In one of the first "I can't even believe this is an issue" moments of 2007, Virgil Goode, a Representative from Virginia, is making a big stink about Keith Ellison performing his swearing-in ceremony on Thomas Jefferson's version of the Koran. Says Goode:
"I believe that the overwhelming majority of voters in my district would prefer the use of the Bible," the Virginia Republican told Fox News, and then went on to warn about what he regards as the dangers of Muslims immigrating to the United States and Muslims gaining elective office.Mike Halbrook pointed out that he didn't even think that they technically swear in on any book, but instead in a collective swearing-in ceremony. In any case, Virgil Goode: you seem like a moron to me.
