America's Best & Brightest?

A professor in agriculture I know got a call from an state guvmint official
working on new regulations for GM (Genetically-Modified) plants.

The official asked "Now Professor, do plants have DNA?"

Somehow the professor managed (barely) to restrain himself from asking
"what the h-ll do you think you are talking about when you discuss genetic
modification of plants?!".

Yeah, it's a fake. I've heard about half of these before without the political labels. Not that most of our elected representatives aren't dumb enough to say things like this. You could attribute every one of them to Cynthia McKinney and Sheila Jackson-Lee and not be too far off. ;)

Are you referring to the same esteemed Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) who, on a visit to Jet Propulsion Laboratory, asked if Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong?

I seem to recall the Honorable Representative Maxine Waters name drop the prestigious investment house of "Solomon Barney Frank" at a congressional hearing a while ago. Rush got about 3 weeks of mileage off that gaffe. :)

NH had a woman guv term, two terms ago. Technically, senators are Congresscritters.
