How to Win Votes (Not): Tell Voters they are Worse than Congress
Rep. John Shimkus, one of the leading figures who seems to have known about Predatorgate for some time but done little, has found a novel defense which I hope he will keep using: Insult the voters. Yes, really:
He insisted the page program is safe. "They are as safe there as they are at home," he said. "In fact, in a lot of homes--they're safer in our program than they are in a lot of homes."
I am certain that voters all across America will appreciate hearing this assessment of their parenting.
