Senator Chuckie “Putzhead” (to use Al D’Amato’s term) Schumer teams up with his pallie across the Hudson, the apparently ever-increasingly senile Frank Lautenberg, to destroy the model rocket industry. They’re fighting to keep Senator Enzi’s bill from becoming law. The headline of the press release is typically stupid and false:

Lautenberg, Schumer Join Forces to Stop Republican Attempts to Pass Legislation That Would Make it Easier for Terrorists to Build Missiles in US

Well, it’s true that Lautenberg and Schumer are joining forces, but the rest of it is ridiculous, as I’ve previously discussed.
There are many better and cheaper ways of building weapons than using model rocket propellant (which is not, no matter how many times the Senators repeat the lie, an “explosive”).

To quote the aging junior Senator from New Jersey:

“Sometimes the things you see in Congress make you scratch your head in wonderment.”

Indeed, but his irony detector must be severely on the fritz. As is the case with yesterday’s bloviating about “making bets on death,” I don’t know what’s worse, to think that they’re really this brainless, or that they think that we are.
