a liar, or just plain stupider than a lavatory plunger?

I report, you decide. Well, in fact, it's Harper's Weekly that reports:

The House and Senate reached agreement on a $789 billion economic-stimulus plan, which President Barack Obama is expected to sign into law despite a lack of support from Republicans. "When Roosevelt did this," said Representative Steve Austria (R., Ohio), "he put our country into a Great Depression. That's just history."

Um, no, Rep. Austria. It's not.

I don't disagree. It's just that writing a rebuttal assumes that she can read, and trying to debate her means that she'll scream over you the moment you get in a word, and then she'll cry about "getting my chance" if you dare interrupt one of her tirades. Again, I've been watching that unique condition with Republican debaters for decades, and most people give up rather than exhaust themselves with such an arrogant moron. It's not fair and it's not right, but her ilk were the sort who'd pee on their toys rather than let any of the other kids on the playground have a chance to play with them.
