Rep. Maralyn Chase

One of the delights of living in the state of Washington is a front-row seat on the state's Democrat politicians, who provide an unending supply of cheap entertainment. (Cheap, that is, when you don't count the horrendous taxes and lost economic growth for which the Democrats are responsible).

One of the best amusement values is Rep. Maralyn Chase, D-Edmonds, who seems to have all the common sense of a Raggedy Ann doll.

Rep. Chase is notable for being on the wrong side of history on various education issues -- promoting racial preferences, lowering standards and protecting failing schools from competition and accountability.

Rep. Chase has also just introduced a bill encouraging Washington couples to have only two or fewer children. At the same time she is also sponsoring bills that would have younger workers subsidizing prescription drugs and other healthcare for the elderly.

I'm tempted to ask Rep. Chase how her generous eldercare state will be able to sustain itself if we produce fewer children and also destroy the educational system, but I wouldn't expect Rep. Chase to give any more logical of an answer than Raggedy Ann would give.
