Worst Person in the World

The wackaloon Republican, Bob Turner, who's running for Anthony Weiner's former congressional seat for this:

The GOP hopeful running for ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner’s seat says the $4.3 billion Zadroga 9/11 health law is too broad — and shouldn’t cover volunteers sickened at Ground Zero. […]

Some $1.5 billion of the Zadroga package is set aside to monitor the health of rescue and cleanup crews. It also bankrolls the treatment for Ground Zero workers, volunteers and residents who became ill from breathing in twin tower toxins.

The remaining $2.78 billion is set aside to compensate the families of those killed and the injured, including responders and volunteers - and nearby residents and office workers in an area south of Chambers St.

“I think it is a little too broad,” Turner said.

Turner is trailing Democrat David Weprin by only six points. I almost believe this speaks to Weiner's stupidity more than anything else. If Weiner had exercised some self control, a wingnut who thinks 9/11 workers don't deserve healthcare is only six points away from winning in a liberal district.
