I, Moron: The Continuing Saga of Loretta Sanchez

Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) Said She's Got "More Important Things To Ask About Than This Silly Social Security Thing."

"Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.) managed to stir up some trouble last week at the Joint Economic Committee hearing chaired by Rep. Jim Saxton (R-N.J.). Testifying before the committee was Harvey Rosen, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Sanchez was evidently fed up with the contents of the hearing. 'I've more important things to ask about than this silly Social Security thing,' she said." ("Capital Living," The Hill, 4/20/05)

Now, if I were a Democrat, or He Who Will Not Be Named (who is, I guess, a Democrat, noises to the contrary notwithstanding), I would react with outrage and possibly even feel heart-ache.

But I am not, in fact, an 80 year old proper lady in the antebellum South swooning upon seeing a fly in the sugar-jar, so I won't react with that sort of effeminate emotionalism. I'll just call her an unqualified jackass and be done with it.

From a partisan source I'm not supposed to be coordinating with.

But I'm not coordinating with them. I'm just lazy.

That's my defense.
