We wouldn’t have to send them all the way to the moon. Just strand them at a LaGrange point until they run outta air.

Fillyjonk: Yes, I realize that emission typically comes out of the orifice opposite the one Congress is always shooting off>

Just turn them upside-down until you reach orbit. In zero-g there is no ‘up’, so then you can just point them at Earth and watch them propel themselves away.

Hoist on their own petard (or maybe that should be their own pêt*,) I suppose?

(*Yes, I realize that emission typically comes out of the orifice opposite the one Congress is always shooting off, but still….)

(Apropos of nothing other than my being psychologically 12, there is an entire “fart thesaurus” online that contains the various euphemisms, jokes, and some foreign names for them…)

No need for budget-busting rocket fuel either, Congress can rise, Montgolfier-like, under their own aero-thermal propulsion!

My Congress critter’s already been there — twice!

Dang customs people keep letting ‘em come back, that’s the problem.

I like it but I think McGehee makles an excellent point. Let’s just send ‘em to Iraq. Er . . . wait! My Congress critter’s already been there — twice! However, if I have my way he’ll be a one-term Comgressman. I vote against people who doin’t call back — cute smile or not..
