Everday and twiced on Sunday!

"Twiced" ???

[BTW - it's nearly a requirement of the position.]


Not from the South, are you?

I have spent my entire life in the South (Alabama, Kentucky, and
Tennessee, plus some visits elsewhere in the South), and don't remember
ever hearing anyone say "twiced". It must be particular to some small
region of the South.

I Googled congressman + insane and got no references to congressmen
who have gone or were insane.

However, my search did reveal many congressmen who called other people
insane. Imagine that!

Obviously President Reagan's brain was badly rotted before he died.
Maybe while he was in office.  Things like referring to the Princess
of Wales as Princess David.

Wow, that's actually on-topic in many of these newsgroups. Too bad it
doesn't answer the question.

I guess lots of elected folks have used the phrase "a moment of
madness" to describe some of their actions.

Google for (congressman schizophrenia diagnosed) is surprisingly
unproductive, but apparently most schizophrenics are diagnosed in
teenage years. The elected government HMO probably has another word
for the condition. "Freethinking". "Inspired", "inspirational".
Even "devout". Which of them have gone crazy religious?

I've noticed a rash of male politicians cheating on their wives. Are they
insane?

I don't know about Congressmen, but Earl K. Long was incarcerated
against his will in an insane asylum for a short time while he was
serving as Governor of Louisiana.

Who governed Louisiana while Long was incarcerated?

better still, has any Congressman or woman not been an out-and-out crook?

It certainly is. See the Gahan Wilson cartoon to that effect, and follow
astrophysicists who talk about vacuum energy and zero-point energy and
the Casimir Effect.
