Congressional Performance
Approval of Congress Drops to Single Digits Again

I wonder why? Here's a little ancillary evidence.

Exhibit 1
With economy in shambles, Congress gets a raise

Exhibit 2
Caroline Kennedy’s Moment—A Sad Reflection of Our Times

"The probable appointment of Caroline Kennedy, the 51-year-old daughter of former President John Kennedy, to fill Secretary-of-State nominee Hillary Clinton’s New York Senate seat is both laughable and yet a parable for our bankrupt times."

Exhibit 3
Report: Jesse Jackson Jr. Is Senate Candidate Number 5

"The revelation may prove to be a problem for Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. "Candidate Number 5" is referred to by Rod Blagojevich as being willing to fork over a million dollars for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's campaign should he run for reelection for the Barack Obama Senate seat,. This was told to Rod Blagojevich, it is alleged, by associates of Candidate Number 5."

Exhibit 4
Dodd deflects question on mortgages

"Dodd was one of two senators implicated earlier this year in allegedly receiving preferential rates on two loans. Conde Nast's Portfolio, citing Countrywide documents, claimed that the company made two loans to Dodd in 2003, trimming three-eights of a point from a $506,000 loan to refinance a townhouse in Washington. A second loan to refinance a house in Connecticut was written at a quarter point below the going rate. After the Countrywide scandal broke, Dodd promised the media that he would disclose information about his mortgages."
