WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia) sought today to explain his controversial remarks about sexual assaults in the military, telling reporters that his comments were the result of “declining levels of brain function created by nature.”
“There are old men sitting in the United States Senate who are seventy or seventy-five or eighty,” he said. “Gee whiz, the declining levels of brain function created by nature sets in place the possibility for these types of things to occur.”
While acknowledging the controversy that his remarks created, Mr.
Chambliss made no apology for them, saying, “It’s always a good thing
when a Republican brings up a more nuanced view of rape.”
“If my memory serves, that’s been a winning issue for us in the past,” he said.
Senator Saxby Chambliss made the comments at a hearing attended by the top uniformed officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was also present.
"The young folks that are coming into each of your services are anywhere from 17 to 22, or 23," Chambliss said. "Gee whiz, the level – the hormone level created by nature sets in place the possibility for these types of things to occur," he said, before admonishing the military and Congress itself for failing to stem sexual assaults.

What a true POS. First this guy blames military rapes on hormone levels, and instead of apologizing he blames his comments on his declining brain function? Hey Saxby if your brain function is so bad, then step down TODAY.
