My God, we send the vilest, rankest, stupidest people to Congress. A couple days ago, I read that most of Congress is lawyers who couldn't cut it in their law careers. Otherwise, they'd be making millions practicing law. It made a lot of sense.
That statement about Trump is right up there with one of the stupidest things said in years.
I watched a great 1947 movie a couple weeks ago titled "The Senator Was Indiscreet." It's about a bumbling, long-winded and crooked Southern senator, considered by some as a dark horse for the Presidency, who panics his party when his tell-all diary is stolen. He's a real dunce of a dunderhead and the party bosses completely control him. Here we are 77 years later and nothing has changed.
Yeah, you are mostly correct: "My God, we send the vilest, rankest, stupidest people to Congress. A couple days ago, I read that most of Congress is lawyers who couldn't cut it in their law careers. Otherwise, they'd be making millions practicing law. It made a lot of sense." It is either that or they figured out a better angle to get rich and most of them do in spite of their "paltry" compensation by the citizenry. Only the very dumbest or holdouts for honesty don't leave with their fortunes substantially increased. They live in a big feed trough filled by those seeking their favor and who usually get it.
Nothing has changed.
