it's funny. I keep seeing those scumbags in Congress being described as "highly educated."

I would agree with your taking exception as well as the fact that most of them are scumbags. To me the fact that they are so divorced from the truth, not slightly shaded away, but not even on the same planet with it, is infuriating. They are playing a game with people’s lives and are smart enough to know it, and the people who’s lives are at stake are clueless about it. Dishonorable does not begin to capture a description of them.
