Taibbi takes on Boehner and Tea

Postby lok8 » Sun Jan 09, 2011 1:45 am

Lower approval rating than Al Qaeda

As for what that job is, here's the thing: In this age of greed-enabling bailouts and rampaging Tea Parties and coast-to-coast voter rage toward the entire political process, Congress in particular now ranks as one of the single most unpopular political entities on earth. Recent polls show that only 13 percent of Americans approve of the job performance of their national legislature — which makes our elected representatives even less popular here at home than, say, Al Qaeda is in Pakistan. (Bin Laden and Co. scored an 18 percent approval rating not long ago.)

At first glance thought the title of this post was "Taibbi takes on boner with his tea."
