Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy West, elected Democrat, and the Milwaukee County Board's proposed boycott of Arizona are getting national attention.
On his program today, Rush Limbaugh mentioned West and her understanding of the Arizona - Mexico border as it relates to the illegal immigration problem.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: It's ground zero, you idiot. You people in Milwaukee! What in the hell are you doing? Who are you electing here? I'm sorry.
Good questions.

PEGGY WEST: If this was Texas, which is the state that, that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this, saying that they had a major issue with, you know, with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would say I would have to look twice at this.
But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border. And, um, it just, it doesn't make sense to me that when you google this subject, if you put in 'Arizona S.B. 1070,' that you see a picture of the governor of Arizona meeting with President Obama in May of 2010. If you have direct linkage to the president, there are already National Guard troops on the border in Arizona.
JOSEPH RICE: Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to assure my colleague that Arizona does in fact share a border with the country of Mexico. The city of Nogales has been a source of a great deal of illegal immigration. Arizona, along with other states, I think has a right to be concerned with the strain that illegal immigrants place on the local services, on the school district, on the health care system. I don't blame Arizona for searching for a solution, and I think the majority of Americans agree with that position.
What an embarrassment!
Later in the program, Limbaugh noted that Jon Kyl sent a letter, including a map, to Peggy West.
Arizona Senator Jon Kyl has confirmed, Arizona is, in fact, on the border with Mexico.
Kyl sent Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy West a letter in which he says, "You will be interested to learn that Arizona does indeed share a border with Mexico. I have enclosed a map for your convenience."
Kyl goes on to urge West to, "actually read the Arizona law before forming an opinion about it."
Read Kyl's letter to West.
Jon Byman reports:
West did continue to talk about troops on Arizona's border. She later explained that she meant to say Texas had a longer border. "Had Texas come out with the legislation, having the largest border, I think that I would be more receptive to the fact that there was a problem. But having it be Arizona, having it be the second largest boarder and knowing there are troops on the border in Arizona, it didn't seem to me that this legislation was particularly necessary at this moment in time," West told Newsradio 620 WTMJ.
Oh, the length of the border is the issue. Yeah, that's the ticket. Now West's comments are reasonable.
How utterly ridiculous!

Peggy West, progressive liberal, has made herself the laughing stock of the entire country. What an ignoramus.
She could be the "poster child" for Libtards.
Incredible that somebody this ignorant could win an election or even graduate from high school for that matter. Then again we have Libtard Congressman Hank Johnson who would make a good run against Peggy West. Maybe the Democrats should change their name to the Libtard Party.
I visited her website, her problem with the Arizona law is that she is Mexican and supports the reconquesta invasion of the USA taught by the Mexican government to all their citizens. Reconquesta is also supported by La Raza and LULAC who also believe the USA is land that was stolen from Mexico.
I personally consider the invasion to be an act of war by Mexico considering the propaganda fed to their people. They officially have stated this to be their agenda.
West has made herself a national joke.
As a supervisor voting on the boycott issue, it's stunning that she would be so clueless about the border.
I don't know where you're getting the "reconquesta" stuff, certainly not from West's official website.
West's stupidity is clearly on display as is her adherence to the lib agenda. That said, I don't like the term "libtard."
She has made a fool of herself. First, by her ignorant comment and then her lame explanation of what she meant to say. Worse, she has made a fool of Milwaukee County residents for electing her in 2004, re-electing her in 2008 and anyone want to make bets on 2012? I would also be willing to bet that she has no idea what is actually in the Arizona bill. We get the government we deserve when we vote the way we do.
