Made me think of a favorite Mark Twain quote.

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

Ah, but there's a more apropos one combining the two:

It seems like it should be the other way around.

Suppose you were a member of Congress. And suppose you were an idiot. But I repeat myself.

Otherwise the only idiots in the world would be Congressman.
