Iceland votes clowns into office. Real clowns, not amateur ones like we elect.

The surprise winners in Reykajavik, Iceland’s recent council elections not only admit they’re clowns, they boast of it.

The EUObserver.com tweaks the winners’ big red noses:

Promising a polar bear for the Reykjavik zoo, free towels at all swimming pools, a Disneyland theme park at the airport and a drug-free parliament by 2020, the newly formed Besti Flokkurinn (“The Best Party”) took the political establishment by surprise when it became the biggest party in Sunday’s municipal elections in the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik, securing six out of 15 seats in the new city council.

The Best Party in Reykjavik was established just half a year ago by a core group of comedians, actors and musicians….

The new party’s slogan is “Whatever Works”. And that’s the official campaign video atop this story.

Here in the United States, we also have a party composed of clowns. And we fully expect the day to come when Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrat caucus commute to work together and all 256 members of the house and all 57 senators pile out of one clown car.

We may be down right now, but this is the United States, damn it. If Iceland can afford professional clowns, so can we.
