Earth to Charlie: Boys only join Congress if they can't have a decent career.

BINGO!!!! One would be hard pressed to find a greater collection of mediocrity than the US Congress. The vast majority are of average intelligence at best. Most people of accomplishment stay in the private sector as politics in this country drives away the best and the brightest. In my view these fools are one half notch above actors in intelligence.

Well this actor did okay for America.

There is a new aircraft carrier named after him too.

In just the U.S. Senate, I can think of several who don't even meet that standard-- Patrica Bin Murray of Washington, Barbara Boxer of California, Bob Casey, Jr. of Pennsylvania, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan . . .
