Maybe they are smarter now than similar politicians were in the past.
I'm not so sure about that!

An item about ridiculous questions supposedly asked of travel agents by “clueless” Congresspersons is yet another instance of an old bit of generic humor’s being modified to apply to contemporary politicians. We’ve collected examples of this list of howlers dating from as back as far as 1998, and those earlier versions failed to identify the geographically challenged as members of Congress, instead presenting them as ‘a client,’ ‘a secretary,’ ‘a man,’ ‘another man,’ and so forth. Those earlier versions also began with a preface that trumpeted the collection as “Actual stories from a variety of Travel Agents” rather than the politically repositioned "Actual stories provided by a retiring Washington, D.C. travel agent of 30+ years".

Snopes? You've got to be kidding me. They are about as liberal as it gets.
Which Congressperson paid them to say that?
Which makes me wonder... perhaps all of them were Democrats? (* CHUCKLE *)
Because if all of them were Republicans, Snopes would have never printed this!

Regardless of the factchecking source, surely you didn't think those were true but it would be plausible with some of our current Congress critters, mostly female.

I wouldn’t touch that one. Why do you assume women don’t understand the laws of physics or matter?

Thee are a few Democratic women ( Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley) who have evidently said some pretty stupid things.

Somehow it makes sense to them and the voters who elected or re-elected them.

Yep. And there was one of their predecessors who actually said in a hearing for funding for naval assets on Guam, that wouldn't the weight of all those ships and personnel on one side of the island cause it to capsize into the ocean. The stupid is very strong in some of them.
