Politicians must really think we are dumb, or are we?

Today I was listening to NPR, it was the market watch program and I heard a sound bite of a senator ‘idiot’, can’t remember the name, it went like this, “want to know the nonpartisan answer as to why it didn’t happen, [I can’t remember what exactly], it because of the republicans.” Man, I wish I could remember and/or find the quote. However this is the meat of the quote that really stuck out to me. It just struck me as so absurd. That I couldn’t really just ignore it because it was made an effing senator! Sad, sad.
