Was Groucho a member of our Congress when he sang: “Whatever it is, I’m against it…?”

It’s hard to take seriously foreign policy talk in our Congress after learning, some weeks ago, that Silvestre Reyes, the Democratic nominee to head the House Intelligence Committee, couldn’t tell a Shiite from a Sunni. So my suggestion to the bloviators on the floor of our Congress, debating the Iraq War with the intelligence of Margaret Dumont herself, is they should give up it all up, kick back and watch the greatest of all war movies… then maybe it will be all over and someone will tell them what a Shiite is… hopefully without a knife to their throats.

The democrat controlled Congress is a lot like Anna Nicole Smith.

She only stood up (or down) for the cameras. ;)

BTW – I see single bullet theory Specter continues to bully SCOTUS into accepting video cameras in the court room. I hope they keep turning him down. Watching Animal Planet and the BS at C-Span, my plate is full.
