4:07p - Idiocy in the Senate
My favorite parts of the Something Awful take on the 20 most corrupt members of Congress report:
Rick Santorum: Rick writes some of the worst bills in congress, and some suspect that he's merely using government funds to bankroll his burgeoning music career... and slacking off in his congressional duties in the process. For example, in H.R. 6061, “Rick” writes “we going to make it illegal for fast food workers to ask if 'you want fries with that' because if we wanted fries we would have asked for it so there's no need to ask if I want fries because it's just sales pressure and unfair it's like pushing the fries on me that I don't want because if I did want them I would have asked but I didn't so now it's against the law.” Since H.R. 6061 is primarily about a proposal to build a fence on the Mexican border, Santorum's contribution seems slightly out of place.
Bill Frist: Frist, an observant and brash medical doctor, believed that Terri Schiavo could not possibly be in a persistent vegetative state. He quickly prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotics, a lumbar puncture, a CT, and an MRI. With the aid of his team of fellow congressional diagnosticians, Tom DeLay and Rick Santorum, Frist concluded Schiavo was suffering from Lupus. Although they would have no doubt cured her of all her ills in a matter of days, many believe they overstepped their bounds and tried to play god in the lives of individual citizens instead of doing their appropriate jobs.
( Blahblah boringness surgery blingblah. )
