“Really? ‘Nerds’? You know, actually, I think the word you’re looking for is ‘experts,’ to enlighten you so your laws won’t backfire and break the Internet.”
JON STEWART, on members of Congress considering the SOPA and PIPA bills exasperatedly calling for “nerds” to help them understand SOPA and PIPA, on The Daily Show.
Why does Congress bother convening at all?

I wonder if they’d use the word ‘Nerds’ if the hearings were about, say, nuclear energy.

I believe the politically correct term in that case would be “brainiacs.”

“Nerds” are such stupid people. They spend years learning so that they can ~know how to do things~. They’re so ridic. Not like congresspeople, who are smart and spend years avoiding the merest touch of knowledge while filling their coffers with corporate money. No wonder they look down on people who actually contribute to society. They’re so ~infinitely superior~ to those “nerds.”
Srsly, though. Is there any group of well paid people as proud to fail entirely at their jobs & basic intelligence as congresscritters?
