These are funny, but they're adapted from a list I've seen many times before. Good for laughs though, and I imagine our elected reps say far stupider things than these everyday. At least, if the current legislation is any indicator.

I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat on the airplane so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.

We have a Washington senator like that...

An Aide for a Bush cabinet member once called and asked if they could rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed they only 1-hour lay-over in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between the gates to save time."

Not as silly as it sounds (although I myself would take a cab instead). There are five terminal buildings in the DFW airport complex, and they are miles apart. It can take as long as an hour during busy times of the day to get from one to the other, if your plane lands at one terminal and your departing flight is in another terminal.

This is bogus. These stories have been around for years, relating to travellers in general.

Funny, but complete B.S. Let's see, a "New Mexico Congresswoman." New Mexico has elected only one woman to Congress in the last 54 years. That's Republican Heather Wilson, who serves now. Here's her biography:

"A distinguished graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1982, Heather was a Rhodes Scholar and earned her masters and doctoral degrees in international relations from Oxford University in England."

"Rhino, New York?" Highly unlikely.

IF THIS IS TRUE, BE WORRIED!

If being the key word. I know many people in government are not too bright, but even I'm not cynical enough to believe any of these are true encounters.

[Jim Noble]

We haven't had a congresswoman in 30 years (at least).

[steplock]

It isn't true?

Maybe that's why it is listed under Topics: Political Humor/Cartoons

hehehehe :>)

Some people get picky when the humor goes towards their side?

Thanks for the links to those joke sites. This list was sent to me via email with no other link. I thought it was humerous.

I'm pretty sure George Carlin wrote this.

An Aide for a Bush cabinet member

The only partisan reference there...?
