Sen. Whitehouse is one of the biggest lunatics in Congress. Both Rhode Island and Connecticut are producing Democrat congressmen and women who fall off the sanity chart (Laura DeRosa aka Communist Party Red Rose), the former Sen. Chafee, the son, not the father), Blumenauer and/or Blumenthal (the fake Viet vet), etc.
Vermont is not far behind with Comrade Bernie Sanders (see the great material on his red connections at www.keywiki.org).
