Yes he really is that dumb

On March 10 Representative Jesse Jackson Jr said on the House floor - "Let me be clear about a few things," Jackson said, brandishing both an Apple iPad and an Amazon Kindle on the House floor. "These devices are revolutionizing our country — and they will fundamentally alter how we will educate our children."  But on Friday afternoon, he went to the House floor to blame the iPad for killing Borders.  He suggests that the iPad has eliminated "thousands of American jobs."


It is appalling that someone with this little knowledge of economics or technology could actually be employed in a responsible position - oh wait, he is a Member of Congress.  My bad.
