Senate Joke

Senate joke


Unplugged

A member of the United States Senate, known for his hot temper and acid tongue, exploded one day in mid-session and began to shout, "Half of this Senate is made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!"

Aggrieved democrats demanded that the angry member withdraw his statement, or be removed from the remainder of the session.

After a long pause, the angry member acquiesced. "OK," he said, "I withdraw what I said. Half of this Senate is NOT made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!"

My congress critters are Coburn and Inhofe. I love those guys. The rest of you poor bastards can only WISH you had such men to represent you.

It would be worth moving to Oklahoma just for the unique experience of being surrounded by an intelligent electorate. Count your blessings.

That sounds kinda like pointing out that 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

As ol' Sam Clemens said, America has no distinct criminal class, except for Congress.

My 16-yr-old grandson didn't believe me a year or so ago when I said at least half the members of Congress have been either suspected, indicted, or convicted of various crimes, including child & spouse abuse, fraud, theft, possession of illegal drugs, non-payment of debts, writing bad checks, swearing to false documents, and so on . . . so he Googled it and found that I had actually been very conservative in my estimates.
