We needed a study for this?
The nation’s top lawmakers are excessively partisan, fail to hold the executive branch in check and deserve a paltry C-minus for their overall performance, according to a report on Congress by Indiana University researchers.
The Center on Congress at Indiana University questioned 39 political scientists from around the nation about Congress’ performance and came away with a mediocre impression of lawmakers.
“…came away with a mediocre impression of lawmakers.”
I may have only been awake for a couple of hours, but that is officially the funniest thing I’ve heard all year.
Happy New Year, Doug!
I’d say that even a “C-” is being generous.
The Iraq War, the budget deficit, Terri Schiavo, the bankruptcy bill, asshats like Inhoffe as committee chairs in charge of our policies concerning global warming… a C minus? Try, what’s lower than F? I guess the fear is that if their grade is too low, they’ll get held back and have to “repeat”.
I think we need a study to determine the merits of that study. And then, naturally, we will need a study to study the study of the study….
And don’t forget the blue ribbon commission to examine what went wrong with the study of the study of the study.
