You'd better write the Post and tell them they got it wrong. One of the major reasons Congress doesn't have better ratings is that Democrats were elected to do something about the Bush disaster, and they haven't been able to accomplish much yet because of all the crap the administration and the Republicans have been pulling, refusing to obey subpoenas, withholding documents and other information on the grounds of "executive privilege," and filibustering anything the Democrats try to do so that a 60-vote majority is required to get anything passed. Not to mention instructing Attorney General Gonzales to stonewall and lie in hearings, and blocking any attempt to establish contempt of Congress proceedings.
