Susan Collins of Maine has confirmed the obvious: Either she couldn’t be bothered to understand the balanced budget amendment she put her name to, or else she saw it as a far-fetched idea — but a good photo op.

Ms. Collins, you’ll recall, thought that Mr. Obama’s 2009 Stimulus Bill was fiscally responsible(her words).

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, one of the dimmest bulbs in the Senate. And folks that is a box of very dim or even blown bulbs.

Collins reminds me of a friend’s ex-girlfriend, both physically and non-intellectually. It’s amazing that she gets reelected. The woman looks like she’s as dumb as she sounds.

If ObaMaoCare is all that wonderful and awe-inspiring, then why continue Medicare and put everyone on CommieCare?

Did she suffer some kind of serious injury when she was younger? She always talks like her brain doesn’t quite sync with her lip movement.

Folks, it’s clear that she’s in declared competition with Sen. Barbara Boxerox as the dimmest bulb in The Greatest Deliberative Body. sd
