House Chair-To-Be Reyes Fails Pop Quiz

A pop quiz about national and international intelligence was given by a reporter with Congressional Quarterly to Rep. Silvestre Reyes, and that reporter said the soon-to-be chair of the House Intelligence Committee quite simply flunked.

Tuesday KFOX had a chance to catch up with Reyes, and asked him about the pop quiz.

"It's unfortunate that there has been so much attention that has been paid to it," said Reyes, a Democrat representing El Paso.

Reyes said he actually does know the answers to the questions.

You know how they say fat people should have their picture taken with other people who are shorter and fatter than they are in order to appear slimmer by comparison?

Reyes is trying to appear smarter by posing with these two...

Press 2 for Spanish.

From the CQ link:

“Why do you ask me these questions at five o’clock? Can I answer in Spanish? Do you speak Spanish?”

Snort.

So this train is traveling in one direction,
and this train is traveling the other direction....
Umm, it was my understanding that there would be no math.

Wish someone could post the entire interview. Seems Reyes actually made some comment about the Hatfield's and McCoy's.

This man has been on the committee since Sept. 11th.

We can only blame republican voters for allowing the dems to take over congress and leave us so horribly vulnerable to our enemies.

Thanks for the link.

I see a new lie forming in the MSM and being carried by the leftists.

That the Bush administration has paid NO attention to the Israeli/Palestinian issue or to the arab world in general.

That such an audacious lie would be put forward is almost unbelievable.

No president has done more to move the arab world into the modern era than this President.

I loved Jackie Gleason.

"Everyone Loves Raymond" actor (name escapes me) played Jackie in a tv movie a few years ago. The actor did Jackie PERFECTLY!!! Please see it!!!

You will love it!

Sorry ......... about the exclamation points .......... I use them way too much when I have been drinking close to a case of beer, I am told.

My old (Irish) college buddy came over yesterday afternoon to celebrate his 60th birthday......... and he hasn't left yet!!! He's still gently sleeping.... and I'm in pain! LOL!!!

Oh well .......................
