‘Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress…’
(By Andrew Harrer / Bloomberg)
If you somehow don’t know about the utter mess in the U.S. Congress, look here (and start paying attention). If you do, here’s something to help you laugh, or, at least, keep from screaming in frustration. The buffoonery wouldn’t surprise these past congressional watchers:
Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself. -Mark Twain
You can lead a man to Congress, but you can’t make him think. -Milton Berle
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets. -Will Rogers
I don’t mind what Congress does, as long as they don’t do it in the streets and frighten the horses. -Victor Hugo
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress. -Ronald Reagan
Congress is so strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing. Nobody listens –
