Is There Anybody in Congress Dumber Than Jim Moran?

Sure, it’s a target-rich environment of vacuous, staring, gabbling imbecility, but Moran’s got to be one of the standouts. He’s now questioning the patriotism of people who criticize the decision to bring the five 9/11 suspects to trial in New York City. From the article at TPM:
Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has strong words for the Republicans opposing Attorney General Eric Holder's plan to bring five 9/11 suspects to New York City to face trial.

"They see this as an opportunity to demagogue," he said. "They will seize on any opportunity to do that, and that means they'll even take a stand that's un-American."
So sayeth Congressman Moran: level-headed, rational, even-tempered genius.

If Moran has any opposition the next time he’s up for reelection – Republican, Independent or even Communist – the person has my vote (er, or would if I lived in Moran’s district). When a politician can count up to his IQ using his fingers and toes (in this case, with digits left over), it’s time for him to go.

See http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=M2ZiYmY5NzI4ZmFiMjhkZDQxY2Q3ODI4ZjllMmY4ZjM=. Moran has drawn an opponent named Matthew Berry, in case you are interested.

To be fair, I've met some Moran voters. Being able to count up to their IQ on their fingers and toes could get you to 23, 24, easy...

Of course, here in LA we've got Maxine Waters, the woman who went on national TV and declared that Church's Chicken was a plot to sterilize the black man, and that the government was shipping trainloads of handguns into the 'hood so the young black men would kill each other...

well, okay, THAT one was true, but it turned out to be the Villaraigosa administration selling confiscated weapons back to the gangs...

Yeah, and I've got the Queen of the lot, Corinne Brown. I can't even post the video, it's too humiliating. But here's a link to a blog post about it at the Gainesville Sun - http://chalkboard.gainesville.com/default.asp?item=2351550

She's got a gerrymandered district, and she's pretty much bulletproof. It MAY be more embarrassing than Moran...but each of us must judge our own humiliation, in this case, I think. 8-)

TW: ingshat!

"Gabby" Giffords on line one.
Raul Grijalva on line two.

I have Patty Murray. A senator, unfortunately. Maria Cantwell is only slightly less of a moonbat.

Praise be to Zoraster that I don't live in western Washington..., there, the brainless congresscritters are too numerous to count.

We shouldn't be surprised since Moran and his supporters back Barry. The equation always adds up to Zero. Since Barry's continual bowing is a demonstration of his "citizen of the world" declaration, Jimmy should look at who is being un-American. But there seems to be a lack of mirrors in Moran's office. Obama confiscated them for his personal use. However, a review of footage from that fateful day might jog his memory.

Oops! Forgot to sign my previous post.

Maxine Waters...the woman who heads the Fidel Castro fan club.

Thanks, Isophorone. Will look into Matthew Berry. Can't vote in that district, but I can make calls.

He's a Dem, why would that be a problem?
