So this is an indication of the intellectual level of the legislature of the USA?
You got it. In the US of A, if they an elected official they are a crook......end of story.
Check this. On the news today 1/3 of the political council of Atlantic City, New Jersey are either under indictment or in prison. and we are worried about the poor soles in Gitmo...
I say take these politicians out on Saturday Morning and place them against the wall. After a few get smoked, maybe some will either choose another profession or quit being corrupt. If they dont, we have plenty of walls.
