Last week we had perennial Blend fave, Neil “I Love A Good Mule Romp” Horsley (and lest we forget, failed Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate), making headlines with news of his being charged with domestic terrorism threats against Elton John– h/t Blender Kevinchi.

And now this week, we’re starting out with Arizona Senator John McCain’s primary challenger, J.D. Hayworth, hopping back in the radio studio saddle for a ride.

(HORSley? HAYworth? Ya can’t make these names up…)

We need a new catagory of batsh*t crazy: Beastiality Rodeo Clowns!

J.D. Hayworth: Gay Marriage Law Could Produce Man-Horse Nuptials

Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) primary challenger, former Arizona congressman J.D. Hayworth, warned this past weekend that the same-sex marriage decision handed down by the Massachusetts Supreme Court was so loose in its logic and wording that it could lead to a man marrying his horse.

Appearing on Orlando, Fla. radio station WORL on Sunday, the Arizona conservative had what could be described as a Rick Santorum “man on dog” moment.

“You see, the Massachusetts Supreme Court, when it started this move toward same-sex marriage, actually defined marriage — now get this — it defined marriage as simply, ‘the establishment of intimacy,'” Hayworth said.

“Now how dangerous is that? I mean, I don’t mean to be absurd about it, but I guess I can make the point of absurdity with an absurd point — I guess that would mean if you really had affection for your horse, I guess you could marry your horse. It’s just the wrong way to go, and the only way to protect the institution of marriage is with that federal marriage amendment that I support.”

Move over, Ricky… YEE-HAW!
