Bachus represents the northern part of the state. Basically, like all other congressional districts except ours, it’s dominated by Baptists, who apparently believe that a bingo hall is the precursor to the rise of the antichrist

[Bachus, now looking at me.] I guess the verification system didn't work.

Mr. Balko [flummoxed]: I believe that all took place well before the age of Internet gambling, Congressman.

Mr. Bachus: Okay. Was it? I wonder why it's still on the site today.

How do folks THIS STUPID get elected????

Poker and Libertarian Ping

LOL He probably po’ed some staffer and they fed him the question to ask, knowing he was too dumb to know the difference. Either that or it’s the first time he was allowed to think on his own. :)

I’m surprised at the surprise this guy has about the ignorance of nanny state politicians. If they had any sense, they could get a job in the private sector and quite feeding at the trough.

There's something about living/working/drinking, etc. inside the Beltway that detaches them from reality or at the very least, their constituents.

Isn't democracy wonderful? Isn't universal suffrage even better?

Sounds like the Mayor of New York in the TV series Spin City.
