Wow!

I missed this one a couple weeks ago, just caught it on a Daily Show rerun:

“Could you picture Davy Crockett at the Alamo looking at his Blackberry getting a message from Congress? ‘Davy Crockett, we support you. The only thing is we are not going to send any troops.’ I’m sure that would really be impressive to Davy Crockett.”

–Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo), 2/13/2007, during the debate on a resolution opposing the troop escalation in Iraq.
