Everybody Hates Pelosi

Not. (Interesting that her approval ratings are about 20 points above Bush's.)

And they hate Congress worse than they hate Bush. Well, no.

And it's bad for the Democrats -- according to "some people." (Greenwald takes no prisoners.)

One thing that's interesting to note: when the rubber-stamp Congress had record low approval because they weren't doing anything except handing over the economy to the investor class and handing over our civil rights to the president (not to mention lining their pockets with handouts from lobbyists), it was because of "partisan obstructionism," which no one has ever been able to explain. (That's sort of like the Christianist claims that they're being discriminated against when they are running the Justice Department.) Now that the Democrats have been in control for four whole months and approval hasn't soared to somplace in the 80th percentile (which it hasn't in fifty years, if ever), people have "lost faith in the political class."

And why would that be, do you suppose?
