When Erick Wright, Democratic Candidate for Congress is Alabama’s 2nd District, removed a YouTube video of himself talking politics while sitting on the toilet, he thought he nor anyone else would ever see the video again.

“When I decided to run for office, I removed that video because on the larger scale, that may be inappropriate for the total number of people the district entails,” Wright explained to the Dothan Eagle.”I removed it to make sure the setting didn’t offend anyone.”

But after Yellowhammer acquired the video and re-posted it yesterday, it quickly caught everyone’s attention. The Drudge Report immediately picked it up, as did numerous other national websites and blogs. Then last night the Fox Business Network aired a segment in which the hosts of The Independents spent several minutes discussing Wright’s restroom ramblings.

“Alabama sometimes has a hard time finding Democratic candidates, which is hard to imagine considering the caliber of leftist political thinkers (they have),” The Independents’ Kennedy Nation said. “One such bammer had so much to say he started recording his diatribes when he was doing his best thinking. Unfortunately, the best thinking came during turdy time… Is this guy a secret political genius?”

Watch the full segment above.
