    Total Embarassment by a US Congresswoman

    Unbelievable.

    Absolutely horrendous.

    Florida Congresswoman totally embarrasses herself.

    Looks like you don't need to be able to read aloud in public to be a member of Congress...

    She makes the Detroit City Council sound articulate.

    That was a very important speech. I'm sure the other congressmen were elated.

    I bet the dean of the university wants to bury himself somewhere very deep right now.

    It is hard to believe something with such an appalling "command" of the English language could be elected to the Congress.

    Corrine Brown

    Brown attended Florida A&M University, from which she received both a bachelor's and a master's degree, and the University of Florida, where she was awarded an Education Specialist degree.
    lol!

    She's less than stellar at reading aloud, and hopeless at the politician's skill of appearing to know what s/he is talking about in spite of just being briefed (which, given how frequently pollies are asked to give a speech, and how seldom they have ANY real knowledge on the subject, is probably the single most important skill in the arsenal). This doesn't mean she's unintelligent or uneducated, but... it does make me wonder how she came to be elected. Many have often decried the way the one with the glibbest tongue will get elected, but... was there NOBODY else??!

    Definitely weird. Extremely awkward for anyone at all involved. Mindnumbingly tedious for those who actually had to sit through it.
