Complete Disconnect From Reality


Don't know if y'all saw this--it was on Atrios's site earlier this week, and I understand he's not exactly piling up the page views (and yes, that's a joke)...but, on the subject of jokes, well, Jean Schmidt. Need I say more?

I don't think science has yet managed to replicate the sheer level of vacuum eternally present in Representative Schmidt's cranium. Hell, I'm surprised her head hasn't imploded...and sucked in a fair bit of her district in the process. But if you want to see a real example of batshit insane, check it out. Pshew. Call it what you want: batshit insane, off the deep end and sinking like a lead ingot, divorced--no, ANNULLED--from reality and ineligible for a settlement, a few tons (or tonnes) of bricks short of a load, a knife so dull it loses the battle with melted butter, a bulb so dim you could use it in a darkroom...

Unfortunately, it's also the "point of view" of a national representative, who must think Iraqis were herding camels until the United States came to "liberate" them. Maybe someone should remind Schmidt that the Fertile Crescent is the birthplace of what's become Western Civilization, and that some cities in Iraq were already old when our republic was FOUNDED.

But be careful when doing so...you wouldn't want to get caught up in whatever event horizon surrounds the congressperson, and begin a terminal death spiral.
