I can't help but laugh at the comment Speaker Pelosi made about how when the Dems rule the Congress with a supermajority they will be more bipartisan. Yeah, okay. I believe you the Speaker of the 'most ethical' Congress in U.S. History. How's that investigation of Charlie Rangel coming? What? There isn't an investigation. Okay, okay. But since he evaded tax laws, you did tell him to step down from his chairmanship of the House Ways and Means committee that actually writes the tax code. Right? How about the investigation and hearings into the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? What? None there either. Alright. How about asking Rep. William Jefferson from Louisianna to give up his leadership seat after being investigated for corruption? I understand that your 9% approval rating for the most 'do nothing' Congress in U.S. history might sound okay; however, public schools did manage to teach some of us that 9% out of 100% is not a good mark. But hey, you know what, let's give them a trophy and a pat on the back for the great job they're doing. I'm sure they'll be more bipartisan in the next Congress; especially if they have a fillbuster proof Senate. They've done a great 9% job so far. They can only improve from here...can't they?
