Congress includes some of the “dumbest” and “raunchiest” people in the country — but also some of the smartest — House Speaker John Boehner said in a report published this weekend.

Certainly agree with the "dumbest and "raunchiest" part.

My candidates for the absolute dumbest are Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Maxin Waters!

Some of the weakest compromisers are on the Republican side (think high “leadership” position).

When he said “difficult to wrangle misbehaving members of Congress”, I’m sure he wasn’t talking about democrats. The gop can’t stand some young congressman voting the way his constituents want him to vote. How dare him not vote the way boner says.

As far as I am concerned there are no dumber people in congress than the republicans leadership.
