Entire U.S. Political Establishment Diagnosed With Terminal Stupidity

In a shocking announcement government officials have announced that the entire U.S. political establishment has been diagnosed with a case of Terminal Stupidity. Doctors say that when combined with uncontrolled greed and hubris, the life expectancy of the affected Poor Bastards is likely less than one election cycle.

 When asked if there was any hope of survival, officials stated the situation does not look promising. While General Stupidity is typically not a fatal disease doctors say that in the case of the U.S. Congress, the Terminal Stupidity which now threatens the very future of the institution, it is not unlike a common cold that, when left untreated, can progress into a life threatening condition such as pneumonia.






Leaders from around the world greeted the news with mixed reactions. One notable European leader who asked to remain anonymous has suggested that most people probably won't notice that much difference, considering the level of ignorance and incompetence which has permeated U.S. politics in recent years.

The reaction of common folk and Garden-Variety Poor Bastards from around the country have been almost universally favorable with the vast majority offering to do whatever they can to help speed the process along.
