No political A-bomb. Maybe Chernobyl?

Turns out some members of Congress used some major historical disasters as political analogies this week a little frivolously. Those light-hearted politicians, always waxing poetic with human tragedy. While most are no Michael Richards; Kramer of Seinfeld fame, it seems that politicians and their political rhetoric can get a little dicey when events of immeasurable human suffering are used as the metric. It just goes to show the power of public opinion in these sort of things and the vulnerability we've discussed in regards to largely stand alone members of Congress.
