Just. Plain. Wow.

Republican Freshman Congressman Tom Marino (Pennsylvania) sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee…and apparently doesn’t know jack shit about foreign places.

From The Times-Tribune in Pennsylvania (h/t to Talking Points Memo):

“The bottom line is I wish the president would have told us, talked to Congress about what is the plan. Is there a plan? Is the mission to take Gadhafi out?” Mr. Marino asked…. “Where does it stop?” he said. “Do we go into Africa next? [Pols emphasis] I don’t want to sound callous or cold, but this could go on indefinitely around the world.”

Hmmmm…do we go into Africa next? Let’s check our handy Google map, shall we?

If President Obama does sit down with the Foreign Relations Committee, he should definitely bring visuals.
