Yesterday the 110th congress began the second session... and their inexorable slide to 0% approval ratings under the stewardship (I can't bring myself to say leadership) of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Just before they reconvened the public spoke and gave congress a 13% approval rating, dangerously close to the margin of error.
A quick review of the first session ended up with the sole accomplishments of congress being a suspension of the Alternative Minimum Tax for 2007 (because most members of congress would fall prey to this trap), and of course they displayed extreme audacity in repremending the military because the Iraqi government hasn't met the benchmarks established by the US congress.
So Reid and Pelosi are establishing the agenda for the weakest congress in history and they have the stones to criticize the Iraqi government for not meeting benchmarks established by the US congress... perhaps they should worry about their own weakness and inadequacies and let the Iraqis progress without their "expertise".
