Sadly, this dickhead is from my home state. He's from the west side of the state though, so I claim no kinship with him. Ironically the west side of Michigan is populated by descendants of Dutch people (I'm sure Hoekstra got the job because he's a high up in the Michigan Tulip Festival planning committee or something), but it's hugely conservative. Dutch liberalism didn't keep up on this side of the Atlantic :(
