The Congressional approval rating is a meaningless number. It was in the teens under Pelosi-Reid, and is still in the teens under Boehner-Reid. (I don't see where it ever got below 10 percent, so add inaccuracy to meaninglessness).

Yet the incumbent re-election rate is around 85 percent.

There is your approval rating. Asking people to approve or disapprove of a body that runs the gamut from Jim McDermott to Ron Paul is dumb.

I find it amusing how the liberal media is so obsessed with palin and some others. I`m sure she is laughing all the way to the bank and thanking liberals for their attention every step of the way. I think she has them all fooled. They are making her rich. Genius.
