Dumbest Talking Point Ever?

"We're cramming two days of work into five days" -- Mike Simpson (R-Idiot)

"We squeeze three days' work into five days." -- Trent Franks (R-Asinine)

At least local nutjob Michelle Bachmann manages not to mix the metaphor: "We're stretching three-day weeks into five days." This is insanity. If there is indeed a problem here, it's that Congress isn't getting enough done. If they're only accomplishing three days of work per week they should be INCREASING THE GODDAMN WORKLOAD, not shortening the schedule to match their laziness.

Am I expected to feel sorry for Wayne Gilchrist? Am I supposed to be concerned that a five day work week is just too much for these poor souls? Congress shouldn't be working five days a week -- they should be working seven days a week. Hell, eight days a week.
