Oh, good. Dan Burton is retiring. Now he can dedicate more time to shooting watermelons in his backyard. I had forgotten about his proposal to build a transparent bullet-proof shield around the House chamber. I guess he took a look at Congress’s approval numbers. He was also a major pimp for the vaccines-cause-autism crew, and that appears to be discredited.
How quickly we forget the insanity of the 1990’s. Dan Burton had a lot of hits.
Another Burton obsession is the AIDS virus. As with the Foster case, he attracted attention, and considerable criticism, when he proposed mandatory AIDS testing for everyone in the country. According to former representative Andrew Jacobs Jr. (D-Ind.), Burton is so concerned with AIDS that he will not eat soup in a restaurant.
Just think about that for a while.
