——When Joe Biden became Vice President, Bill Nelson instantly moved into 1st place as the dumbest elected official in the U.S. Senate.——
Not been close....heck Nelson was a NASA astronaut .... His problem besides being a liberal, is he is old and senile and needs to be put out to pasture....
Their are several senators who truly are dumber than a box of rocks....Patty what’s her name, stabatoe is another....
I guess he is technically an astronaut, since he used his position as a congressman to go up into space, but he is really just a lawyer and politician. He used to appear on Fox and seemed mildly retarded, IMO. He didn’t save NASA from Obama, so I doubt if he has the space coast support that he used to have.
