Illinois Representative Republican John Shimkus is bat-fuck insane.

I just want to be clear.

"Representative John Shimkus (R-IL) wants to be the head of the committee that deals with climate change in the next Congress. Shimkus believes that our climate is changing, but he isn't concerned. That's because in Genesis, God promises that he won't destroy the Earth again after the great flood. Shimkus has actually read this passage aloud in a Congressional hearing. In fact, the congressman is actually pretty excited about the benefits of climate change, like a new Northwest passage. Shimkus is not concerned, however, that climate change may result in another great flood."

The three best parts of the accompanying video?

1. When he mentions that he is going to read out of the bible, the chick in the back right smirks. 
2. The news station that is telling him he is wrong interviewing him is FOX 2
3. You can see the previous two in the first minute, saving you from having to watch the whole 10 minutes.
