I would check the authenticity of that quote.
I think it came from “semi-news” a satire site kind of like the Onion.
thanks.
the blog that provides the quote from the calif sen is not the same as the satirical site.
the blog mentioned in this post is found at http://azconserv1.wordpress.com/about/
it states its purpose as being:
The Arizona Conservative was the first news and commentary website with a conservative point of view in Grand Canyon State history, starting back in 2003. The purpose of The Arizona Conservative blog is to to pinpoint news and commentary in a supplemental way while allowing for readers to respond and discuss the issues.
