Friends, if you don't think Liberty is in deep doo, then you're not paying attention. Elected officials - notably Barbara Boxer - have become so patently and publicly thick that you half expect them to pass laws in crayon. The U.S. House, in particular, is packed with members (Hank Johnson, Bob Etheridge, Maxine Waters) who seem incapable of speaking without calling into question whether they're gunning for laughs.
