The article and your observations are right on, Bucco. You won't find me defending Speaker Pelosi, Rangel, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Harry Reid or many more of the cabal of self-serving legislators in the Congress. The ship of state turns slowly. Maybe the voters will clean them out the next time around. In the meantime, I hope that the President-elect can control any outrageous Congressional behavior from the bully pulpit and with the veto pen.
