State Rep. Adam Kwasman, who made himself a national laughingstock earlier this week when he mistook a bus of YMCA children with, as he put it, “fear on their faces” for a bus of Central American undocumented migrants, reached the top last night when Steven Colbert used him as the final punchline during a segment on the current border crisis.
The timing couldn’t be better: Kwasman’s new elevated name ID comes as he launches a $35,000 TV ad buy in CD1.
Kwasman’s new ad, which features his opposition to Common Core learning standards and the expansion of health-insurance coverage to Arizona’s low-income residents as well as his endorsement by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, appears below the jump.

Maybe Kwasman believes that there no such thing as bad publicity in politics, just like in Hollywood.
His real name is Mada Kwasmani, and he is a Mooslim terrorist sleeper from Durkadurkastan.
I’m hoping Kwasman wins the primary. Representative Kirkpatrick will have an easier time defeating him in the general election than she would defeating Andy Tobin.
I predict Tobin will win the primary ina squeaker, appealing to Independent Native American & Hispanic voters. Kwasman will cry: Voter Fraud! How dare those non-lily white non-Reputblicans vote in a Republican Primary!, and litigate the results halfway to the general election, ala our kindred sister state Mississippi.
