Well my hearings day is complete now that I've heard California's chronically befuddled Dana Rohrabacher mix misapprehension, assumption, incoherence, interruption and rudeness, all within congressional record time.
It's remarkable. He never fails us, never lets us down, is as consistently stupid as any textbook case of stupidity could be. If ever there was a living manifestation of why the Founders feared representative democracy, United States Congressman Dana Rohrabacher is it.

The more I listen to these hearings the more I'm convinced that Mrs. Clinton deliberately bonked herself on the head. I know I would have.
He's from my state and he's been in office for too long. But he represents Orange-right wing-County so his seat is as safe as any in the history of gerrymandering. Funny how republicans are always in favor of term limits except for when it comes to their overpaid, underworked government jobs.

..or you could put it the way I would: he's from Orange County, so he's not from my state.

I suggest a Rohrabacher test where people are asked to describe what they see and hear as a means of characterizing political dysfunctions.

Sorry an edit.
I suggest a Rohrabacher test where people are asked to watch his performance and then describe what they see and hear as a means of characterizing political dysfunctions.

He became my congressman after the last census, replacing the district that used to belong to Christopher Cox, another clueless congressman. Although this district is reliably R for the time being, even here in the home of the John Birch Society demographics are changing. Unfortunately, I'll probably be dead by the time the transformation is complete.

Laguna Bob,
please hold on. You probably have a better chance of getting rid of your congressman in your lifetime than I do of getting rid of mine out here in Riverside County.

Laguna Bob,
Please don't give up. After so many tries, we finally got rid of one Republican here in San Diego County, Brian Bilbray, something I never expected to happen. Our next target is Darrell Issa who represents parts of San Diego county as well as parts of Orange county. His winning percentage this time was much lower than the percentages he received in previous elections.
