"The joke that we call Congress"

By HENRY I. MILLER

"In this the public may only be catching up with Mark Twain, who quipped, "Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress -- but I repeat myself." Will Rogers addressed the consequences of these deficiencies: "When Congress makes a joke, it's a law, and when they make a law, it's a joke."

There are many examples of the joke being on us."
