I somehow managed to read and appreciate the much buzzed-about Rolling Stone article "Worst Congress Ever" without realizing that it's a cover story. I finally saw the cover for the first time, and wow: it's a great one. Check out the article for more reasons why next week is so important. I can't remember any non-political rag in recent history being so outwardly damning of current politics, and on the cover at that.
...The end result is a Congress that has hijacked the national treasury, frantically ceded power to the executive, and sold off the federal government in a private auction. It all happened before our very eyes…
And if you're counting, Rolling Stone lists its ten biggest congressional offenders:
1. Dennis Hastert - The Highway Robber (R-IL)
2. James Sensenbrenner - The Dictator(R-WI)
3. Don Young - Mr. Pork (R-AK)
4. William Jefferson - The Bribe Taker (D-LA)
5. Jerry Lewis - The King Of Payoffs (R-CA)
6. Tom Tancredo - Mr. Bigotry (R-CO)
7. Dick Pombo - The Enemy Of The Earth (R-CA)
8. Curt Weldon - The Conspiracy Nut (R-PA)
9. Hal Rodgers - Homeland Security Hog (R-KY)
10. Marilyn Musgrave - The Queen Of Gay Bashing (R-CO)
