I heard a Member of Congress make the bolded centered comment below. My Aunt Josie who died a few years ago at 103 and 3 days used to tell me when I was a child that I had Big Eyes. Even Aunt Josie would be surprised to see how big my eyes get when I hear Gems of “Wisdom” like this flow out of the collective mouths of Members of Congress.
Recently I was watching a panel discussion about one of our current Ongoing National Scandals (the IRS). The point was made by one Congressional Talking Head that an Oversight Committee had been set up to get to the bottom of this shameful situation. Another Congressional Talking Head countered with the following...
Yes we finally have an Oversight Committee set up but the problem we now have is we do not have Effective Oversight of the Oversight Committee

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: I sometimes wonder if those who say these kinds of silly things regret what they say as soon as they say it. Do they immediately think to themselves, “I hope no one heard me say that?” The sad truth is they probably are thinking to themselves, “I’m going to go down in history with that one! My brilliance is on display for all to see!”...Or is it?
