You Gotta Be Shitting Me!

Of all of the issues facing the country (and the planet), guess which burning issue the House Homeland Stupidity Committee is going to hold hearings on? If you guessed "the White House party crashers", award yourself the Gold Star for Cynicism:

The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee has called the Secret Service director and the couple who crashed a White House state dinner to testify at a hearing this Thursday.

Yeah, that's a burning issue, all right, one that will take all of six minutes for the Director of the SS to fix: "All you fuckers had better remember next time to double-check the guest list or you'll find yourself permanently assigned to the sub-sub-sub field office in Freeze Yer Nuts Off, Alaska, like Smithers, here. Dress warm, Smithers."

But no. Some moronic publicity hound of a congressman from some pissant state, the one with the lowest educational levels in the nation, is going to glom onto this issue as a way of getting his ugly mug on the cable news shows.
