"Dumbass".  It is word that should resound with Congressman, as they fit the definition perfectly.  As Michelle Malkin notes, federal prosecutors now know that a trip to Iraq before the run-up to the invasion was paid for-- lock, stock, and barrel -- by Saddam Hussein.

Federal prosecutors say Saddam Hussein’s intelligence agency secretly financed a trip to Iraq for three U.S. lawmakers during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion.

The Congressman were "Baghdad Jim" McDermott, David Bonior, and Mike Thompson.

The trip, of course, was funded through an intermediary named Muthanna Al-Hanooti, who was paid with oil for his troubles.  That's right.  Oil from Iraq, which at the time was under some pretty damn stringent international sanctions.  Its good to know that they were working.

Prosecutors claim that the Congressmen did not know the trip was paid for by Saddam. 

Yeah, and there really is a leprechaun guarding a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.
