D-E-M-I... whatever

So I was watching CSPAN like two days ago. Yeah that's right, I'm a lazy slacker that watches CSPAN for fun while others work. But anyway in the House they were discussing the Estate tax and whether or not to permanently repeal it. Rep. McDermott (D) from Washington got up there and started talking. That's fine, I'm not into the whole tax thing, but in this great country we have representatives who try and make the right decisions.

But Rep. McDermott gets up and talks about Teddy Roosevelt and the Republicans. I can't even tell you the what he was arguing about besides obviously he was against repealing the tax. He said it would create an oligarchy (he said it, not me!). So then he says, "... Republican, R-E-P-I... whatever..." Brilliant. You can't even spell Republican. Listen, I'm no genius, but I'm also not in the House of Representatives. And I don't mean this to be an Ad Hominem attack (which it is), his argument may have been good (I didn't pay attention).

But I got to thinking, where is the CSPAN bloopers tapes. He's certainly not the first to be stupid on television, so let's get all the silly moments of Senators and Representatives on CSPAN 4 (or whatever). I scare myself with my own brilliance. (And yeah, I probably misspelled something or some grammatical error, sue me.)
