Lunatics in Congress ...

... seem no longer to exist now that Congress has taken the time to strike the word lunatic from all past legislation.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...d-to-lunatics/

I think for the first time ever, I agree with one of the premier Congressional lunatics, Louie Gohmert (R-Tex), when he spoke out on this bill:

“Not only should we not eliminate the word ‘lunatic’ from federal law when the most pressing issue of the day is saving our country from bankruptcy, we should use the word to describe the people who want to continue with business as usual in Washington.”

Well, after all, Louie is one of the preeminent lunatics in that asylum.

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

CNN Political Reporter Peter Hamby

Richmond, Virginia (CNN) - Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is launching a political comeback that may begin within days.

Sanford is planning to run for the Congressional seat he held almost a decade ago, a Republican source familiar with his thinking told CNN late Thursday.
