Did you see the last one. That's just dumb. Not miswording. There were pages more. I just liked these. Both sides have their own complete idiots, and we send them all to represent us.

Right you are NanaSue, the one up didn't come off because they weren't funny and I had never heard of most of the quoted. The motley California crew however, has people listing their dumb remarks and posting them on the internet under dumb political quotes headings!

While speaking on the floor of the House of Representatives Wednesday, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, the Texas Democrat once dubbed the "Congressional boss from Hell," claimed the Constitution is 400 years old.

“Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not,” she said.

Lee was only off by 173 years, since the Constitution was adopted in September 1787, not 1614.

A post at the Washington Free Beacon said that going by Jackson Lee's version of history, the document would have been signed seven years after Jamestown became America’s first permanent English settlement.

Twitchy said it's not surprising to hear such a statement from Jackson Lee, who "can be consistently counted on to say ridiculous things."

Twitter users wasted no time ridiculing the Texas Democrat.

"I wasn't surprised that Sheila Jackson Lee thinks the constitution is over 400 yrs old. I was surprised she knew we had a constitution," one person said.

"Is it racist to point out that Sheila Jackson-Lee is not qualified to hold elected office?" another person asked.

"Now imagine if Sarah Palin had said the Constitution is 400 years old," added Twitter user "Matthew."

Another person asked who was more dumb -- Jackson Lee or the people who keep re-electing her to office.

"Having once lived in her district, I can confidently say 'yes,'" one person said in response.

One person said the Constitution only "looks" 400 years old "from all the recent trampling" it has received.

Jackson Lee, who was once recommended by the Congressional Black Caucus to head up the Department of Homeland Security, recently said the "number one agenda" of the newly-formed Congressional Full Employment Caucus would be to draft executive orders for President Obama to sign.

She also said Americans should simply turn in their guns and declared that insurance cancellations brought about by Obamacare are lies.

Jackson Lee also speculated that George Zimmerman broke his own nose, and claimed Christian "militants" might "bring down the country."

Video of her comments can be seen above.

And don't forget Democrat Congressman Hank Johnson who said "My fear is that the whole island (of Guam) will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."

She was a so-called community activist (ring a bell?) before she got elected to City Counsel in Houston. Tacky, loud mouthed complainer that stirred up her district (mostly low income to poor), making promises of "more govt assistance" and more reasons to not get out and work for a living. So they keep electing her. How she made it to Congress baffles me. Shutter to think she has gained respect or admiration on the hill. She's still a tacky, loud mouthed bore. I wonder if she even has a college degree?

What makes you think she even attended high school, much less matriculating to, and attending, college?

Maybe kindergarten 101, bottom of class, graduated with no class, and no education. Didn't play nice with others and lied repeatedly to others. She always told the teacher that they were her toys and no one else could play with them.

Well, yeah, I guess I have to agree with you there. &#128527; Maybe we can get rid of the Democratic and Republican dummies and replace them with some brains.

Brains are gushy but very tasty, (sorry, I couldn't resist),, the deck is stacked, you can't get rid of them. As long as the voting continues they will always be there unless the states force a Constitutional Convention, for the right reasons.
