Stupid things politicians say

[jmra]

Today on the House floor SJL stated that the Constitution is 400 years old. Of course we all remember her blunder about Armstrong planting the American flag on Mars in 1969.

How many other stupid statements can you recall from our leaders over the years. This should be fun.

Another one that comes to mind is the Senator from GA who was concerned that the island of Guam might capsize.

When did Sheila Jackson Lee ever open her mouth that something stupid DIDN'T roll out?

Scary thought she's smarter than all her constituents...

57 states....Oh that was our president.

Nancy Pelosi on the economy: "every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs."

There is not enough time or space to talk about all the stupid stuff "uncle joe" says, but....
he is at least as good a spokesman as the now long ago retired Iraqi Information Minister.

That wasn't a stupid statement, it was actually pretty smart, as it was a deliberate lie that diffused opposition and allowed the legislation to pass. It wouldn't have passed if he hadn't lied.

"We have passed the Affordable Care Act.
Now we'll get a chance to see what's in it."

"It all depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is..." Bill Clinton

"Outside of the killings, D.C. has one of the lowest crime rates in the country." Marion Barry

"When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal." It seems several of our more recent presidents have co-opted this attitude, but it was Nixon that said it.
