Democrats fantastically took office in January, introducing the first lady House speaker in the midst of much display.
San Francisco Democrat Nancy Pelosi guaranteed the most moral Congress ever. She guaranteed open civil argument on the issues. She guaranteed to accomplish six things in the initial 100 hours of taking office.
Her first move was to attempt to get Jack Murtha chose as the No. 2 Democrat in the House. Murtha was an unindicted co-schemer in the Abscam outrage.
That fizzled.
Next, she constrained verbal confrontation and revisions on her authoritative pets.
At long last, her initial 100 hours ended up being around a month, as she re-imagined this not as ordinary time however as authoritative time, which ended up being around five hours a day.
Gracious, and those five-day weeks she guaranteed?
That ended up being a couple of days in session a week as Congress took off for government occasions, snow days (which wiped out two hearings on a worldwide temperature alteration) and so forth.
At that point Congress continued spring break.
Under Speaker Pelosi, the House of Representatives has worked like the exaggeration of an union shop.
Things in the Senate have been much more dreadful under Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Democrats continue testing the weakest organization since Jimmy Carter, and inconceivably, turn out to be considerably weaker.
Reid and Pelosi neglected to get a timetable set on withdrawing troops from Iraq, considerably in the wake of larding up a basic protection appointment with $20 billion in pork-barrel ventures.
Next came the Amnesty bill (or as advocates called it, the Immigration Reform bill), which neglected to collect more than 45 votes, even with Republican backing.
At last, on Monday, the Senate strove shockingly to have a no-certainty determination against Alberto Gonzales, the Mike Brown of lawyers general.
Also the Senate fizzled. Indeed with Republican backing.
Open backing of the Democratic Congress is a Fizzie, as well. The Los Angeles Times discharged a survey this week that indicated just 27 percent of Americans favor of the employment Congress is doing, while 65 percent oppose.
Then again, once in a while doing nothing is desirable over awful approach. Cap tip, Instapundit.
