Jeff Woods catches Rep. Hill in an attempt to get some government love for his pop!

Rep. Matthew Hill, R-Pleistocene Epoch, is an Obama birther and far-right Christian zealot par excellence. But don’t make the mistake of thinking this lawmaker is completely out to lunch. No, this is one crazy ideologue who knows how to play political hardball.

Behold House Bill 2683 sponsored by Hill this session. Our shrewd hero would transfer all commercial vehicle inspection and enforcement duties from the Safety Department to the Tennessee Regulatory Authority. Not coincidentally, we think, Hill’s father Kenneth is a new director of the TRA.

(Kenneth Hill, you’ll recall, was recently in the news for defending Pat Robertson for saying Haiti deserved the earthquake.)
