These are real people! It's funny, but scary 😨!

I thought you might like some good laughs today...just keep in mind they actually work in the US Congress

A DC, 'airport ticket agent’, offers some examples of why the US is in so much trouble!
I love this as the ticket agent actually provides names.


1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)


2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts
'Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Cape Town is in South Africa .'' His response -- click..


3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.
He replied, 'Don't lie to me!, I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!'' (OMG)


4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.''She said, ''But they look so close on the map'' (OMG, again!)


5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas .. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas ... When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)


6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m, and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.
I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.


7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler...he’s a real winner!!) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?’
He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!’'
After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..


8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''


9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala. who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''


10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''
I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola and fly on a commuter plane
She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''


11. Mary Landrieu, La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those''
I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''


12 A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''
I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?’' 'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.
After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere.”
''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''
The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.


Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in!
Could ANYONE be this DUMB?
YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, AND ARE IN POLITICS..................................

Too funny.

Thanks joehel2. I thought so too. I saw them a long time ago but a friend just sent them to me. Where better to post things like this where we can all laugh at politicians, Left Wing politicians.

Reminiscent of the movie Idocracy. Corporal Joe Bauers, a decisively average American, is selected as a guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program but is forgotten, awakening to a future so incredibly moronic he's easily the most intelligent person alive. Movie plot is 500 years; the movie may be prophetic - we may get there sooner.

We have a diner we go to - they hired this young girl who was a junior/senior in high school. I paid cash instead of using a card and she didn't know how to make change.

I really don't think it's one party - both have idiots. But who is dumber then, or we that elect them?

AND, it's bipartisan idiocy.

Thank you very much rwoodvira for your comment. I cannot agree with you more. I have come across a great number of sales people in different businesses and the inability to make change has gone away with the Dodo bird.

Yes both political parties have idiots and we see their ideas on parade every single day. And yet, as you point out, We the People continue voting for these idiots on both sides. I am, you might know, a strong Conservative. Yet in a heartbeat I would vote out of office Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham and some others to name just two that have a strong presence. They need to go. Don't get me started on the Left Wingers who need to go. There is not enough cyberspace.

Great stuff!

If more people could realize how inept many politicians (and their aids) really are, maybe some changes could be made . . . .

My favorite is the YouTube of good ol’ Hank esplanin’ how Guam could tip over or capsize…

dennis2146 Loc: Eastern Idaho

Thank you very much. We the People just continue voting these idiots into office and that is from both sides of the aisle.

I well remember that IDIOT but he isn't alone in his idiocy. Of course the Left Wing Trolls here will disagree with me and that is fine. They need to do something to keep the good name of CLOWN surrounding their actions. But I firmly believe there are more idiots on the Left than the Right.
