There are lots of rather dumb men in politics but we aren't interested in that narrative.

but they've always been there - since day one. Women on the scene are a newer phenom - so why are they almost exclusively morons?

Where's the Ann Richardsons? (Ann Richards? you know, the ex-Texas gov.)

I guess we've made ourselves so equal that we can be equally stupid, too.

I cite Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) as a counterexample. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as an example of one who seems... rather off. Past the Sell-By date.

Waters is the kind of gal the TEA Partiers vote against. Though her constituency... deserves her. Pelosi, being of the Great Big Government spend-the-money-you-don't-have persuasion -- gotta keep the bread and circuses going regardless -- is another, being fiscally irresponsible in the largest humanly possible way.

Voting oneself the treasury isn't much good if you're inflating the currency. This is one reason I think Democrats are such dopes.

Dude - seriously? The R's have done more of both than the D's.
