Dog poop is more popular than the current Congress!
Apparently someone over at polling company Public Policy Polling (“PPP”) has quite a sense of humor. Their latest polling questions regarding the popularity and approval ratings of our representatives include gems such as asking if people had a higher opinion of:
- Congress or hemorrhoids? – Actual swollen assholes beat out the swollen-headed assholes of Congress 53% v. 31%
- Congress or cockroaches? – Bugs beat the insects that wear suits 44% v. 42%
- Congress or toenail fungus? – Fungus wins 44% v. 41%
Even the steaming piles left behind by our four-legged best friends have a higher rating than the 113th Congress. According to the Huffington Post, another survey found that a mere 5% of the public approve of the current work being done by representatives and senators, while 83 percent disapprove.
The House of Representatives and the Senate are (inexplicably) able to claim approval victories over Anthony Weiner (50% v. 23%); the twerkmistress herself, Miley Cyrus (46% v. 31%); and Vlad Putin (49% v. 28%).
Compared to some of the lunatics and econo-terrorists in the current Congress, a few fresh pooch turds might create a better smell in the Capitol chambers.
