According to some historical figures:
"There is no distinctly native American criminal class... save Congress."
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."
--Mark Twain
And who would certainly know better than most anyone?
"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, two men are called a Law Firm, and three or more are called a Congress."
-- John Adams
Heh! Timely quotables. Thanks!
