I'll let those words sink in for a moment.
Ready? Good. Because there's a whole fifteen minute video of crazy featuring a joint press conference by the three members.

(2,252 posts)Guildenstern: Why can't you ever say anything original? You never take me up on anything. You just repeat everything I say!
Rosencrantz: I can't think of anything original! I'm only good in support.
Guildenstern: I'm sick of making a running!
Rosencrantz begins to cry - Guildenstern puts an arm round him
Guildenstern: It's all right, I'll see we're all right.
Rosencrantz: [sobbing] But we've got nothing!
Guildenstern: We've got a letter.
The sight is dismal;
And our affairs from Egypt come too late:
The ears are senseless that should give us hearing,
To tell him his commandment is fulfill'd,
That Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead:
Where should we have our thanks?

(16,844 posts)this Congress -- go off to an unstable country and talk to them about their own version of American foreign policy. I can just see them getting themselves kidnapped over there and causing some international incident. What possessed these fools to go and do this? Did they have a vision while they were praying and speaking in tongues together? We really don't need anyone fucking around in the Middle East right now, not with all the other problems we're having.

(39,215 posts)talking like she does could get them in a lot of trouble. I do not see them getting out to talk to the people of Egypt. Nor do I even see the Egyptian media paying much attention to them. The people of Egypt are much more intelligent than these three.
