And did you notice the chair corrected himself? He started out calling her the Gentlelady and then changed it to Gentlewoman. I guess he knows her.

but of currently serving reps Gus Bilirakis, Andrew Crenshaw, Connie Mack, John Mica, Jeff Miller, Adam Putnam, and Tom Rooney are all Republican reps that are UF grads, while Corinne Brown is only one of four dem reps that are UF grads.

and I really don’t think Corrine Brown is representative of the current university. University of Florida is currently in the Top 50 best schools in the country according to US News and World Report. She is right about some things though. We just won our 2nd BCS championship in the last 3 years. Not to mention the back to back NCAA championships two years ago. Go Gators.

By the way Jeff, how’s Georgia gonna do this year without Stafford and Moreno. They’ll be going against a fully returned two deep defense that held the highest scoring football team of all time to 14 points.

Should be fun.

Should show this to Tebow. He would turn pro or transfer to a real university.

No. Can you point to anything a Democrat has said that makes anymore sense?

See, her speech is actually an upgrade to what they say about serious stuff.

Ah, more of the Democratic Party’s best and brightest. Gives me confidence that the country is in good hands.

I don’t blame her, though; if she weren’t in Congress, she’d be homeless living under a bridge. I blame the morons that keep voting for her.

This is the lead up to her proposal to bail out the BCS with billions of newly-printed dollars.

We’ll solve that pesky football problem, I tell ya what.

In an era where one can get college credit for studying Klingon and an advanced degree in Circque du Soleil studies and Paranormal Psychology, nothing surprises me anymore.

I was hoping UF’s band could have marched in and she’d sing the whole “Go Gators” song. And then, her analysis of Palsgraff with Tim Tebow praying beside her.

Not give us her 64 team bracket.

This gentle lady from Florida did not go far enough! How does she not delve into the mystic RPI rankings and debate the merits of President Obama’s picks. Why? She’s totally in the tank for Obama
and covertly manipulating the lines in Vegas..

Obama is engaged in the unlawful trafficking of college brackets. By announcing to the world his picks, the lines in Vegas are going haywire. At a time like this, he really should have waited to announce his picks until after March Madness ends. Obama’s quick picking the NCAA tournament flies in the face of practiced gaming theory. The overs are under. The unders are over. Bookies are destroying the few remaining pay phones in cities across the nation.

In the Heavens above, “The Greek” is still really apologizing. .

After seeing the spectacle that is Congresswoman Brown, any apprehensions I had about running for Congress have all but been discarded. How that moonbat became an elected official (for 20 years no less) shall no longer be a source of befuddlement, but rather a source of inspiration. For Christ’s sake, she looks like the archetypal nutjob spinster who lives alone in a cat-infested, rent-stabilized apartment in Manhattan.

One thing is for sure: Donning that robe, Ms. Brown will never ever be accidentally shot while strolling through the woods during deer hunting season.

Does this sort of statement really merit time on the Congress floor, however? Does it not devalue the institution responsible for significant debates on the country’s future if it also exists as a platform for ‘look at how wonderful my local football team is’? The British parliamentary system has many flaws, but restricting this kind of politicking to written Early Day Motions is a good thing.

Incidentally, if you wish to see the opposite of Corinne Brown, check out some of Dan Hannan’s speeches to the European Parliament:

voters have been sending her back for almost 20 years. Is there literally NO way to compete in her district?
