"That may make for a more sober Congress, but also a less entertaining and lively one."

I, for one, would be happy to see fewer morons in Congess like McKinney, in exchange for less entertainment. Next up: Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson-Lee, and Barbara Lee. (Feel free to add your own favorites...)

I'd like to see Bob Barr move just a few miles away into the Sixth District in Georgia and run against that do-nothing idiot Johnny Isakson.

Sheila Jackson-Lee

This woman occupies the congressional seat that doesn't represent me in the U.S. House.

She won't quit, she won't go away, and she could still get elected if she were caught robbing a bank.

My vote doesn't count. Period. Oh, and the state legislature did the same thing to me on my state representative district, too -- now I'm nonrepresented by a Tejana machine pol with ties to a guy who's in prison for bribery and extortion. Wonderful, wonderful Democrats. I love them to death.
