that has been represented by Robert Walker and Joe Pitts (and now Jim Gerlach, due to re-districting). Walker was stupid beyond belief, Pitts (still in office but a different district) is worse, and Gerlach is a cypher.

I think stupidity is a serious problem in congress, but of course it's intimately connected with "Christian" fundamentalism and generalized venality.
