“Hey GQ, can’t find any crazy Democrats? Here are 16,” courtesy of Kyle Smith of the New York Post, and frequent PJM contributor:
In a survey of the “Craziest Politicians of 2014,” GQ had difficulty locating any Democrats. Seventeen out of 20 on the list were Republicans, with the only liberals being Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson and America’s reigning nabob of nuttiness, Joe Biden.
In a note appended to the story, GQ defensively said it wasn’t guilty of “standard liberal-media bias,” it just couldn’t find any loony Democrats to speak of.
Let’s give GQ a little help, shall we? Here are 16 more Democrats for the list of the most cra-cra political figures.
In addition to the assortment of leftwing lunatics that Kyle spots, if Conde Nast-published GQ was actually serious about finding crazy Democrats, it need only venture down the halls of its parent company’s office at One World Trade Center:

Yes, it’s Anna Wintour, maximum editrix of GQ’s sister publication Vogue, definitive One Percenter, winner of our first Duranty Award for her love of Syrian totalitarian Asma al-Assad, that “Rose in the Desert,” as Wintour’s magazine dubbed her, and terrorizer of her staff, as can be seen in the must-see 2008 documentary, The September Issue. And as Rush noted in response to Wintour’s exquisitely tone-deaf 2012 campaign ad for Mr. Obama spotlighted in the above clip:
WINTOUR: These two wonderful women and I are hosting a dinner, along with the president, in New York City to benefit the Obama campaign on June the 14th. It will be a fantastic evening, and you can join us. We’re saving the two best seats for you, but you have to enter to win. You can enter right now by going to BarackObama.com/NewYorkNight. Sarah Jessica and I both have our own reasons for supporting President Obama, and we want to hear yours, so please join us.
RUSH: Right.
WINTOUR: But just don’t be late.
RUSH: Two of you. Two of you who Anna Wintour wouldn’t give the time of day to if she saw you on the street. In fact, you’d get fired if you looked at her. She’d send the cops after you if you looked at her. She’s not on the street. She leaves the building, gets in the car, goes where she’s going. This is such a divorce from reality. So they’re having this big dinner party for you, two people. You go to this website, you register, you make a donation, you could get chosen to have dinner so that Obama and Michelle and Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Parker can find out what you think. (interruption) All right, all right, all right, I’m glad you did this.
The staff on the other side of the glass are telling me they don’t know who Anna Wintour is. They know who Anna Wintour is. You’re telling me you don’t know who she is? Well, that picture, I mean she looks like the Beatles out of the sixties, Helmet Head, little Bobby. You really don’t know who she is? Well, now, I’m a little embarrassed that I do, then. She’s the editor of Vogue magazine. Well, that’s why I said it’s a magazine for elites. It’s a fashion magazine. Very few people actually read it. It’s one of these things, the right people read it. But I guarantee you, whoever’s gonna end up having dinner at her house, this whole thing is a fraud. Anna Wintour doesn’t want to meet these people. She’s not interested in what they think. Neither is Obama or Michelle or Sarah Jessica.
Not a coincidence that David Letterman’s band played “Here Come the Sun King” during this tense segment in 2009 of Wintour plugging The September Issue:
