A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN CONGRESS:

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease.

"Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?"

"Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track." 

"What sort of question?" asked Pelosi.

"Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'''

Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history."

Somthing to do with white guilt I gather. I would not know about such things, my ancestors arrived from Ireland after slavery ended, although some were endentured servents themselves. Some Molly Maguires I'm told.
In any case, Rush dose not speak for anyone but Rush. And there is nothing funny about Nancy Pelosi. Nothing.]]> 2008-12-31T16:05:29Z 2008-12-31T16:05:29Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2008://1.10225-comment:82298 Comment from Argent on 2008-12-31 Argent http://insanityblog.com/

Now... a joke about real Republicans thinking that they'll attract voters with songs like 'Barack the Magic Negro'. That's much funnier

"Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?"

"Nothing is easier," he replied. "You give him a simple task and observe his performance."

"What sort of task?" asked Pelosi.

"I would take him into a bathroom and show him a tub full of water and a teaspoon, a cup and a pail, and then instruct him to empty the tub as rapidly as possible."

"I see," said Pelosi. "A normal person would use the bucket."

"No," replied the psychiatrist, "a normal person would open the drain."
