Dem Dim Dems?

 If God ever made anything dumber than a Democrat, he kept it to himself.

If you don't believe that, here's some proof. Yesterday, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a Democrat from Illinois, offered her wisdom and claimed that the reason more women weren't working in "manufacturing" was that the word "manufacturing" sounds like a man. Her exact words were. "And you had mentioned trying to engage more women in manufacturing. I'm just wondering if just the name manufacturing sounds like a guy." 

Rep. Schakowsky is the poster child for everything that is wrong with Congress. She just started her fourteenth term in Congress. She is eighty years old. She has been in Congress since January 3, 1999. She has been there so long that I had hair when she started in Congress. My older son was in junior high school. If trying to link "manufacturing" to the evils of the word "man" is her best shot, it's time for the old broad to pack it in. Just a pointer for the never-ending Congressional candidate, the word "woman" also contains the word "man". Does she think that "woman" sounds like a guy?

But wait, there's more!! She represents part of Chicago, the Democratic-run hellhole on the lake. Before she was elected to that spot, Rep. Sidney Yates represented that district for twenty-four terms from 1949 to 1999. He missed one term in the early sixties when he attempted a Senate run. So, in Chicago two Democrats have represented one congressional district for seventy-four of the last seventy-six years. There aren't a lot of new ideas coming out of that district.

Just for the record, the turnover rate in the old Soviet Politburo was higher than this. Congress is a place where people go to die. What are the odds on Mitch McConnell lasting another two years?  Was Diane Feinstein in her prime when she checked out of the Senate? How about that specimen of good health, Jerry Nadler? Nadler always wears a tie because a bib would be too obvious. Every time that 86-year-old Maxine Waters opens her mouth, the word "dementia" comes to mind. Shall I go on?

When shall we start the serious discussion about term limits on Congress. There is already a term limit on the President. Why not two terms in Congress?

Democrats were incensed that Elon Musk changed his name on "X" formerly Twitter, to "Harry Bolz". He did the same thing a couple of years ago, but Democrats weren't screaming about him destroying democracy then. Democrats are also incensed that one of Elon's associates, a 19-year-old computer genius, used to have the screen name, "Big Balls". There are rumors that Monica Lewinsky wants to work with Musk's group. Get a grip, Monica. It's not going to happen.

There used to be Democrats who had a sense of humor, not anymore. In 1989 Senator Fat Teddy Kennedy was on vacation in Europe when photographs of him having sex with a young girl in the open back of a boat out in a bay were published in the National Enquirer. When the Senate returned to session, Senator Howell Heflin, Democrat from Alabama, was in the Seante Cloakroom and announced loudly, "Senator Kennedy, I see that you have changed your position on offshore drilling." There aren't any Dems left in Congress with a sense of humor like that.

I may be wrong on that previous statement. I watched a news clip last week of Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer trying to fire up a crowd by chanting "We will win!" Whoever told him that was a good idea either had a real sense of humor or is getting paid by Republicans. Memo to Schumer: That wasn't a good look for you, Chuck.

This week Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in to serve as HHS Secretary in the Trump administration. Somewhere in hell, John and RFK Sr. are rolling over.

Just for the record Rep. Schakowsky, Democrat and Dementia both start with "Dem"? Is there a connection?
