From Dean Barnett at Hugh Hewitt (with thanks to Jihad Watch), some Congressmen get asked a very simple and extremely important question and come up short:
THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS. There’s also some bad news. As was the case with three previous conference call attendees, I asked Boehner the question. To refresh your memory, I had asked three other congress-people the following:
“What books have you read about Islamic terrorism against America and the West?”
None of the three were able to name a single book. Boehner followed suit, saying that he had read books on the subject but that he couldn’t give me any names.
It’s funny but I was just thinking about this very same idea two days ago, but my idea was to start asking this question while at a Senate hearing. For example, I’d love to see some of our military chiefs toss this question back to a panel full of Senators on CSPAN. I guarantee it would catch 75% of Congress flat-footed.
Everyone email your own representatives today and your governor and ask them the very same question:
“What books have you read about Islamic terrorism against America and the West?”
Now I know why I call these people, our duly elected representatives, idiots everytime I see them on the television.
