Unfortunately, there's LOTS of these gaffes from our sitting representatives in Congress.
One of my favorites (if that's the way to describe it!) is from Hank Johnson a couple of years ago.
He was concerned that a military build-up on Guam might make the island tip over.

Here's one of the reports about it.
