Pelosi and Reid make Bush popular by comparison

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are having breakfast this morning starting out the window, wondering how it must feel to be as beloved as our current commander in chief. After all he is TWICE as popular as they are,

Bush’s job approval rating fell to 24 percent from last month’s record low for a Zogby poll of 29 percent. A paltry 11 percent gave Congress a positive grade, tying last month’s record low.

Think for a minute how weak the president and the Republicans are…and then think how weak they could be…if they had even a semi-functional congressional opponent. As retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters told us on Pundit Review Radio,

“Nancy Pelosi is so far above her weight class it’s just pathetic. She is not qualified to be Speaker of the House at times like these…she seems like a kindergarten teacher on the first day of class.”

That’s certainly true. But Pelosi and Reid have managed several impressive accomplishments, beyond an 11% approval rating. Jim at Gateway Pundit (are you reading Gateway Pundit? If not, you should be!) has a great post highlighting some truly impressive accomplishments,

3 Weeks- 3 Countries Protest US Congress… How Do They Do It?

1. Members of the Iraqi Democratic Nation Party held a rally in Baghdad on Saturday protesting against the federal system in Iraq which was proposed by the U.S. Senate.

2. Despite intense lobbying by Turkish officials and opposition by U.S. President George W. Bush, the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the bill by a 27-21 vote, a move likely to be considered an insult by most Turks.

Thomas Sowell nails the Dems in a recent column,

Unwilling to take responsibility for ending the war by cutting off the money to fight it, as many of their supporters want them to, Congressional Democrats have instead tried to sabotage the prospects of victory by seeking to micro-manage the deployment of troops, delaying the passing of appropriations — and now this genocide resolution that is the latest, and perhaps lowest, of these tactics.

3. The US Congress will award the exiled Tibetan leader its highest honor in a ceremony Wednesday – the same day the Berlin talks were scheduled. The unnamed official said China’s cancellation will probably push the talks off until next week.

Gateway Pundit says that the US Congress is working on a new motto: “We’re not just unpopular here at home.”

Sometimes the only thing you have going for you is the incompetence of your opponent.
