Moment of Derp

New Hampshire State Representative Lynne Ferrari Blankenbeker (R) brings us today's Moment of Derp.

In an email obtained by Mother Jones magazine, a New Hampshire Republican brags about learning how to fire a .50 caliber machine gun, then added that labor unions -- which traditionally support Democrats -- "better not F#%k with me again!!!"

That email was allegedly written by New Hampshire Representative Lynne Ferrari Blankenbeker, who reportedly ignored requests for comment from reporter Andy Kroll.

Blankenbeker, a military veteran, reportedly wrote the email after a training session with the army at Fort Dix. The full quote reads: "Today I got to be the gunner which was fun. The .50 cal is quite a gun! I was never ascared of the unions but they better not F#%k with me again!!! Just saying."

This is what you get when you elect raging, proud, know-nothings to public office.

Will America learn?
