"A little thump therapy never hurt anybody."

Iowa state Rep. Clel Baudler predicted that potential protestors at his caucus site in Adair County should expect a response that "will be swift and it will be sure."

"Since I'm not a state trooper anymore, they probably won't be handcuffed - but I have friends," Baudler said. "If an officer asks for help, I will help, believe me."

"We're just not going to tolerate in rural Iowa what's going on in the big metropolitan areas," Baudler said. "A little thump therapy never hurt anybody."

3. The Clel Baudler who lied about hemorrhoids to get medical marijuana?

That guy?

"An ethics review has cleared a state lawmaker who has admitted he lied about having hemorrhoids to obtain a medical marijuana prescription."

"State Rep. Clel Baudler, R-Greenfield, said his actions in California were meant to showcase what he believes is unwise medical legalization of the drug."

"He revealed the stunt in a newsletter to supporters this past fall. To demonstrate what he believes are abuses of California’s medical marijuana laws, he lied to a doctor to obtain a prescription in May 2010. He never had the prescription filled, he said."

You just can't make this stuff up!
