You can't make this stuff up even in your most confused drug induced moments of confusion. The good part is that people sober up and become embarassed by such ridiculous ideas which seemed good at the time.
Politicians refuse to let go of the same ridiculous type of idea even after a sobering up period. Then they fire the staffer for not fixing their bad idea. Kinda like having Bill Clinton take the podium away from the president, colbert sworn to congress as an immigration expert, or Al Franken as a US Senator.......Wait, they are still doing the Al Franken thing. It's not over yet!
The same people who thought the Colbert testimony was a good idea are saying reading the Constitution is a “waste of time”.
