Rep. Mark Kirk is One of the Smartest Members of the House

That's what Fred Barnes just stated on Brit Hume's show. He listed a few members whom he considered the smartest members of the House, the list was short and it included Mark. Congratulations to Rep. Mark Kirk of the Illinois 10th Congressional District. It is nice to see that others are realizing what those of us who have known Mark have known for years, he's a pretty sharp guy.
