Apparently they looked at the approval ratings for congress, dropped the paper and ran out to chortle and point them out. If they had kept reading the rest of the poll numbers they'd know that America thinks congress should solve it's problems and not Bush. They'd also know that AMerica would much rather have a democratic majority in congress and that most Americans think democrats have better answers on nearly all issues. Low approval numbers do not mean support for Republicans or even danger to democratic members.

The congress is not in low regard because of their liberalism, but in fact because of their conservatism. Pretty low, because they keep caving in to Mr. 19% percent.

The Democratic-controlled Congress. The one that continues to roll over on onerous things like telecom immunity. You'd think their approval rating would be higher when they allow such gold-plated Bush ideas to meet such little resistance. Yes, yes. The Democratic-controlled Congress.
