Wait, didn't we have a Congress critter referring to our Constitution as 500 years old? And didn't that Congress critter talk about the time we landed a man on Mars?
(Maybe these are fake quotes. But if they aren't, they surely take the cake.)
Sheila Jackson Lee both times.
In 1997, while on a trip to the Mars Pathfinder operations center in California, Jackson Lee confused the planet Mars with Earth's own moon, asking whether the Pathfinder had succeeded in taking a picture of the flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969
Her statements, as picked up the The Washington Free Beacon: “Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a Constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not.â€
