You know congress is corrupt to its core, when even Rand Paul objects to a bill eliminating congress pay during shutdowns. (www.youtube.com)

It’s bullshit.

He’s a goddamn Rhodes scholar. That folksy Foghorn Leghorn garbage is an act. He takes his constituents for fools.

…I mean, they DID elect him so.

Have you ever thought about the possibility that old people from different parts of the country might talk different than you? Having a different style of speech doesn't exclude being a Rhodes scholar. Do you just look down on anyone who has different speech and so you need a way of excusing this internal conflict in your assumptions?

It’s not his accent or his affect, it’s the idiocy he spouts and the contrived ignorance. Unclutch your pearls, he’s a phony and I bet you know that perfectly well too.
