The thing people have to understand is that each year a local magazine here in the DC area, Washingtonian, polls Hill staffers of both parties (anaonymously of course) to find out who is regarded as the single dumbest Senator, and the single dumbest congressman. Patty Murray has been winning in the Senate category for many years running. The poor woman is said to have no understanding of policy issues unless her staffers "dumb it down" and give it to her in the form of an anology about a family or a neighborhood.

She also wins in the "worst-dressed" category, but that's a separate issue.
