    I’ve been waiting all day for you to post this so i can say:

    Fuck Reid and Pelosi. Worst. Congress. Ever.

  2. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 1:12 pm, July 8th, 2008

    What!? Didn’t we just celebrate National Corvette Independence Day?

  3. freakishlystrong says at 1:13 pm, July 8th, 2008

    Yeah, the anhilation of the Forth Ammendment!

  4. The Neoskeptic says at 1:14 pm, July 8th, 2008

    NATION OF RETARDS: can you even name YOUR senators and congressman?

  5. nbawriter says at 1:14 pm, July 8th, 2008

    Down with the Congress and their Smoot-Hawley Tariff!

    (That’s topical … right?)

  6. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 1:17 pm, July 8th, 2008

    The Neoskeptic: I have no voting representation in Congress. Am I allowed to complain about the job they’re doing?

  7. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:18 pm, July 8th, 2008

    freakishlystrong: YES! DOWN WITH IT! And take the 1st, 14th and 15th with you. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? No more votes for women either!
    They’re workin’ hard. Workin’ Saturday. Workin’ Sunday. It’s HARD.

    “Wait a minute. What did you just say? You’re predicting $4-a-gallon gas? … That’s interesting. I hadn’t heard that.” –George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Feb. 28, 2008

    See there are many things happening in Congress! Err, “were” happening.

    Fuck it. Let’s close the Capitol to save on the air conditioning expense. Everyone does a 90-minute conference call three times a week and be done with it. It’s not like it would cut into productivity or anything.

  9. Johnny Zhivago says at 1:21 pm, July 8th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: You must be either a Canadian or a resident of the District of Columbia. Either way, no one in Congress cares what you think!

  10. Johnny Zhivago says at 1:23 pm, July 8th, 2008

    The Neoskeptic: I think you can name your congressman. I just named mine Mr. Fluffles.

  11. SayItWithWookies says at 1:23 pm, July 8th, 2008

    What’s more alarming is that the other 91% say their most trusted news source is Entertainment Tonight.

  12. The Neoskeptic: Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, unfortunately. But also David Scott, who’s cool.

    I recommend anybody who doesn’t know go to http://www.govtrack.us. It’s fun! Well, not really. Maybe after a few shots it’d be fun, though.

  13. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 1:30 pm, July 8th, 2008

    Johnny Zhivago: I’ll give you a hint: Like our Latin American name-sake, we have a cocaine “problem”, insomuch as I can’t seem to find any when I need it, like right now.

  14. freakishlystrong says at 1:32 pm, July 8th, 2008

    grrr.”Fourth”…I’m losing that right so I fergat hows to spellz it…

  15. columnv says at 1:42 pm, July 8th, 2008

    Are they working on any truck nutz related legislation?

  16. roundofapplause says at 1:48 pm, July 8th, 2008

    naming post offices. god forbid one goes with out a name while we figure out what to do with….oh i dont know, Iraq maybe?

  17. Servo says at 1:53 pm, July 8th, 2008

    Absolutely spineless. They’re waiting for that mean Mr. Bush to leave so they can be assured of no resistance to their legislation.

  18. Big Al1317 says at 1:53 pm, July 8th, 2008

    The Neoskeptic: I can: Mr. Sucks, Mr. Suckier, and Mr. Suckiest

  19. Seanibus says at 1:54 pm, July 8th, 2008

    Who are the idiot 9 percent who think that Congress is really on top of things?

  20. Servo says at 1:57 pm, July 8th, 2008

    Seanibus:
    Like Congress, they too are getting dressed for the big ball in Denver.

  21. pondscum says at 2:28 pm, July 8th, 2008

    My senator, Mr. Obama, is running around the country trying to die on Hillary’s plane.

  22. bitchincamaro says at 3:10 pm, July 8th, 2008

    Certainly I can name my NY congresswo/man, thanks to you muzzie luvin’ bed-wetter commanist hop-head anti-pantsuit cat-haters.

  23. Guppy06 says at 4:20 pm, July 8th, 2008

    When was the last time that voter satisfaction with Congress mattered, anyway? It could be down at 0% and everybody’d still vote for their incumbents anyway. Remember: the House of Representative is made up of 434 voting asshats and 1 person who walks on water.
