Not everyone is stupid. Does kind of make one wonder if those that think they are our betters in Washington might actually be too stupid to survive in the real world.
I'm sure they talked to other Republicans who didn't go for it. The lead-in to the clips of Republicans who did (half of whom were out of office, probably lobbyists who would say anything) was a Republican Congressman saying "No one is going to just buy in to something being presented to them for the first time, they're going to check it out"Vince wrote:Not everyone is stupid.

I could be wrong... but, I mean... unless someone's giving you $1 billion, why would you do this?Leisher wrote: Politician drops his pants and yells the n-word on the show.
This is likely the end of his career, and rightly so.

Spencer has not returned calls from CNN, but told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the Showtime series got him to participate by taking advantage of his fears that he or his family would be attacked -- fears sparked by death threats he says he received after he proposed legislation barring Muslim women from wearing burqas in public.
"In posing as an Israeli agent, (Cohen) pretended to offer self-defense exercises. As uncomfortable as I was to participate, I agreed to, understanding that these 'techniques' were meant to help me and others fend off what I believed was an inevitable attack.
"My fears were so heightened at that time, I was not thinking clearly nor could I appreciate what I was agreeing to when I participated in his 'class.' I was told I would be filmed as a 'demonstration video' to teach others the same skills in Israel. Sacha and his crew further lied to me, stating that I would be able to review and have final approval over any footage used.
"I deeply regret the language I used at (Cohen's) request as well as my participation in the 'class' in general. If I had not been so distracted by my fears, I never would have agreed to participate in the first place.
"I apologize to my family, friends, and the people of my district for this ridiculously ugly episode," Spencer said.
Spencer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the show "exploited" his state of mind "for profit and notoriety."
