Cliff notes for politicians

Remember when you were in school and you were required to read "Wuthering Heights". Well if you were like me you fell asleep before you got through the first chapter. Fortunately there were Cliff Notes. They were the readers digest version of those so called classics. Why hasn't someone written them for our recent spate of legislation? How about a version for Obamacare? Most who voted on it never read it like Rep. John Conyers who said he couldn't understand it. I had the same trouble with War and Peace, even though it was probably shorter than the health care bill. How about the Arizona Immigration Law which Obama, Holder, and Napolitano admitted they hadn't read. In spite of their ignorance they still criticized it. It was less than ten pages! Cliff Notes could have reduced it to a paragraph. Maybe our representatives are smarter than we think. If they actually read anything they would be responsible for what they say. A smart politician is one who is never responsible for anything.
