Dumb Congress - or dumb study? WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON — When he speaks on the floor of the House of Representatives, Rep. Mick Mulvaney talks at just below an eighth-grade level, lower than any of his 534 congressional peers.
Rep. Dan Lungren, by contrast, has spoken this congressional term at a “20th grade” level, the highest level in Congress and roughly like a Ph.D. candidate defending a dissertation.
Does that make Lungren brilliant and Mulvaney dumb?
