Patty Murray is also a Senator...and a bag of rocks has more intellectual firepower.
In my own state, John McCain seems to have a fine resume, provided one doesn’t read too closely. While no where near as stupid as Murray, I wouldn’t take his advice on how to spit, which may be one of the few things he knows how to do well.

Their amition is inversely correlated to their lack of shame.
