Q and O, here's Democratic Congresswoman and Rules Committee Chairwoman Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY):
"What makes people think that six people chosen at random would have more ethics, more intelligence, more judgment than we have?" (Rules Committee Meeting, February 27, 2008)
The proper response to such idiocy would run along the lines of this, from the late, great William F. Buckley:
"I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the Boston telephone directory than by the 2,000 people on the faculty of Harvard University."
Adjust the figures and the names for Congress instead of Harvard, and you've got your answer.
