Oregon legislator on House floor calls Spock 'greatest Republican in history'
SALEM, OR (KPTV) -

Bill Post, a state representative for the Oregon State House, memorialized Spock actor Leonard Nimoy on the House floor Friday, calling him the "greatest Republican in the history of the galaxy."

Nimoy, who portrayed the beloved pointy-eared, half-human, half-Vulcan science officer on Star Trek, died at 83 from progressive lung disease.

Post, whose state district includes Keizer, St. Paul and Newberg, stood on the House floor and paid tribute to Nimoy.

"Thank you madame speaker. Today is a sad day in history. Today the greatest Republican in the history of the galaxy, he was a legal alien who believed in prosperity, passed away. So I want to say, Dif-tor heh smusma (Live long and prosper), Spock. Thank you."

Whether or not Nimoy, or Spock, was actually a Republican isn't clear. In 2013, however, Nimoy wrote on Twitter that he supported a rewrite of the nation's immigration laws, and the White House retweeted one of his posts.




It doesn't matter what he was. He'll be a democrat next election.
