Stupid Statement Update

In a morning blog piece I cited three absolutely out of this world stupid statements from our (D-umb) politicians. I jumped the gun. Sheila Jackson Lee(Texas) may have surpassed the others. The year before last Ms. Jackson commented on a flag our astronauts had planted on Mars. Regardless, Hank Johnson is still in first place with his Guam "tipping over with too many US soldiers" statement but only by a hair. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) declared the U.S. Constitution to be 400 years old Wednesday on the House floor, which would mean it was signed in 1614. From Ms. Lee: “Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not,” she said. That would be seven years after Jamestown, Virginia became America’s first permanent English settlement. Lee is off by only 173 years. It was adopted on Sep. 17, 1787 http://freebeacon.com/sheila-jackson-lee-thinks-the-constitution-is-400-years-old/
