We have a US rep who was concerned that sending troops to Guam would tip the island over, a presidential candidate who said he needed to visit all 57 states a rep who talked about "legitimate rape" (as opposed to what?), Dan Quayle's "happy campers" quote and misspelling potato.

We elect A LOT of folks who aren't too bright.

Fortunately, we also elect a lot of smart folks too....unfortunately they're human and do/say stupid things.
