Arizona's 8th District choice for Congress?

A friend sent me this today. Took place at the Petraeus hearings recently.

It stunned me so badly I attempted to debunk it, because nobody (I thought) elected to the Congress of the United States of America could be this stupid! There are lots of comments on the web, but nothing apparently debunking the occurrence so I’m passing it on with caveats.

The Idiot in question here is named Gabrielle Giffords, a Democrat. Giffords Misrepresents Arizona’s 8th District.
How anybody let this Cretin serve on the House Armed Services Committee we’ll never know, but I’ll bet she was nominated by Nancy Pelosi.

In a meeting of that Committee this butthead actually asked General David Petraeus:

"General Petraeus, what are you doing to reduce carbon emissions in the war on terror?"

Following is a commentary I wish I had written – I didn’t… It’s attributed to Mark Beres of Tucson, a retired USAF Major:

“Wow. I had to read, and re-read this several times to believe it. Folks, there are American sons & daughters dying every week on the foreign battlefields of southwest Asia . The nation is completely bankrupt and - quite literally, borrowing 43 cents for every dollar in federal spending. We have the largest environmental disaster in the nation's history in the Gulf of Mexico , and we have Mexican drug armies invading our nation.

And yet ...
A member of Congress from Arizona 's 8th congressional district took the time to ask our battlefield commander what he is doing to curb carbon emissions in the war.
Gabrielle Giffords is the poster-child for what is wrong with the US Congress. We are being led by imbeciles. To the rest of America reading this blog, and to Gen. Petraeus if this e-mail makes it to your inbox - my sincerest apologies for the stupid question asked of you by my US congressional representative.

General - I am sure you have better things to worry about than carbon emissions on the battlefield. I assure you, as a registered voter in Arizona 's 8th congressional district, I will do everything I can to ensure Rep. Giffords is voted out of office in November, and I pray you'll get back to business of fighting the war on terror without worrying about such petty and nonsensical matters as your carbon footprint in the war.”

That’s the end of Mark Beres, Major USAF, retired, comments.

Here’s another comment on this brain dead legislator:

“Giffords impinged on General Petraeus’ valuable time to lecture that the US Air Force uses the most energy in the planet, and that Department of Defense uses the most energy in the United States, linking this to the gulf oil disaster and her concerns about Green energy.”

I would comment further, but our Arizona friends don’t need a heck of a lot of help…
