Правящая элита, как говорится

A friend of mine was seated at a banquet table with the family of Rep. Dan Glickman (D-Kansas), who was later to become secretary of agriculture in the Clinton cabinet.  The family expressed relief at his having entered politics because none of them thought Dan was smart enough to participate in the family business: auto shredding and scrap metal.

More recently, Rep. John Salazar (D-Colorado) related this anecdote: “You know, when I was debating what became the 2008 Farm Bill, I had a member of the Ag Committee actually ask me if chocolate milk really comes from brown cows.  I asked if he was joking and he assured me he wasn’t.”  A member of the Agriculture Committee?

– Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) proclaimed on the House floor that “victory had been achieved” by the United States in the Vietnam war and that, “[t]oday, we have two Vietnams; side-by-side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace.” The reality is, of course, that since the withdrawal of the United States in 1975 – three years after Lee graduated from college (with a degree in Political Science) — what used to be North and South Vietnam have been united under a single communist government.
Rep. Lee is a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Ну, два первых эпизода - это просто анекдоты, шутки, насчет же "вьетнамов" - совершенно очевидно, что она просто оговорилась, имея в виду Корею (см. http://hotair.com/archives/2010/07/15/sheila-jackson-lee-today-we-have-two-vietnams-side-by-side).

Возможно, оговорилась. Отношения двух Корей у нее какие-то благостные.
Но Луну с Марсом она таки перепутала, если верить Википедии.
