Such leadership we've never seen in the House. I wonder how it feels to be the majority whip of the least respected House in history? <br /><br />And, incredibly, this sorry excuse for a Congressman raises tens of thousands of dollars to elect Tea Party types from what remains of the Old South...which is where the problem mostly stems from. Thanks, Kev...way to represent your constituents (the wealthy handful, anyway) back home.<br /><br />We can't get a farm bill. We can't get Hurricane Sandy assistance passed. We can't get good, decent legislation through the House because there are no grownups there...just a bunch of crazy, feral children.
