Good news! We’ve finally found a member of Congress dumber than Nancy Pelosi

And the award goes to…Missouri’s Democrat Congressman Russ Carnahan for his role as Barack Obama’s pathetic bootlicking lacky.

Carnahan recently held a meeting in his home district to drum up support for ObamaCare.

“The overall cost of the package has been estimated at about a trillion dollars over ten years,” Carnahan said. “About half of that comes from savings and efficiencies in the system.”

The audience broke into laughter.

Undeterred by reality, Carnahan continued. “The congressional budget office most recently came out and analyzed the current plan and said that it was not only deficit neutral, which has been one of the important factors for the president and congressional leaders,” Carnahan continued, “but also that over ten years would create a six billion dollar surplus.”

The audience broke into even more raucous laughter.

Carnahan continued his unintentional laughfest when someone – apparently blogger Kevin Jackson of TheBlackSphere.net – hollered out the logical question, “If it’s so good why doesn’t Congress have to be on it?”

Why, indeed, Congressman?

Just so you know, it’s Kevin Jackson, not Johnson, of TheBlackShere.net. He is a very dynamic person, and really fired up the crowd at Kiener Plaza as MC of the St. Louis Tea Party rally on April 15.

I was surprised that this article did not mention Carnahan’s snub of local bakery owner Dave McCarthur, who has made national news for his protest of Carnahan’t support of cap and trade.
Carnahan is NOT representing his constituents!

By the way, if anyone wants to do what Kevin Jackson did, go and speak out to a lawmaker at an event, catching him or her in the hallway, whereever, and have someone put it on video, we would love to make you famous. Send us the clip and we will put it on our highly viewed Youtube channel and post it in an article here, getting you tens of thousands of views quickly. Just contact us through our contact form.

So where do we go to hear the lame answer to Kevin’s question?
