Was it a dumb thing to say? Sure. But I know what he was getting at. Did you read the rest of the interview? Anyway, what's your point? This is one representative from Florida.

If we start running a tally of idiots in Congress, I'd bet you'd run out of Republicans long before I ran out of Democrats. There's no "progressive caucus" on the Republican side, and there are idiots in positions of power like President, Speaker of the House and Majority Leader, who believe far more damaging things than whether or not the President should be visiting military sites in secret or not.

This kind of story is "chaff," stuff thrown out by the Left to try and distract us from real issues. The Democrats are going to go through the next two years in "macaca" mode, because on the real issues they're dead meat.

The last election was not about whether or not the President should have security in Iraq.
