is a media lap dog.

Yes, Congress has consistently been rated less favorably during the past couple of years than during the 2007-2011 period when the Democrats had the majority in the House. But the facts, as demonstrated by the polls cited in your post, is that Congress had suck-y ratings during both periods. If there is a "49 percent" favorability rating during the 2007 - 2011 period, its not reflected in the polls you cited.

Let's leave the misrepresenatations and exagerrations to the other side.

I didn't bother to switch to my computer glasses, so sue me.

And no, I didn't take time to crunch the numbers to do a precise comparison; I simply scanned the list and saw many more 30s and 40s during Pelosi's time than during Boehners's.

And while we're leaving things "to the other side," how about losing your snottty tone and accusations that I purposely "misrepresented" the facts? I don't take kindly to suggestions that I lie, and even less kindly to comparisons to the liars on the Republican ticket.

Prick.

Mistakes happen and I should have been more cognizant of that.

Now maybe you can take back your name calling.

you partisan hack

That most Americans also hated congress before the democrats won the majority in 2006?And that Ryan was a member of the other hated gop congress too? Or she just an idiot.

and she is a lyin' republican

Sort of like having keeping a lover who tells you that men/women can do no good.

Ms. Greenspan's smarmy attempt to impugn Speaker Pelosi's Congress begins at about 2 min.

She really needs to go.

and didn't come away with that conclusion. As you've mentioned, it was because she noted that quite a few speakers are members of congress, as opposed to the speakers at the RNC. I was actually surprised that your thread was referencing that particular interview. It's been a common and silly narrative that the RNC has had a diverse group of speakers (meant to put women and minorities out front, as a superficial representative of their party and policy platform) in comparison to the speakers scheduled to speak at the DNC. See Chuck Todd's comments.
