I love his take on the Senate, it's collection of windbags, and support the dissolution of it as well. There's a good reason a senator can't win the White House.
The solution to "fixing" the U.S. Senate is to repeal the 17th Amendment -- which provides for the direct election of U.S. Senators -- and go back to a system where each state appointed senators in the manner they saw fit (I believe most U.S. Senators were elected by their state legislatures before that).
But you're right about the utter mediocrity of U.S. Senators these days. It's no coincidence that the absolute worst presidential candidates in the history of this country were former U.S. Senators who ran for the White House in the last 30-40 years (see George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Bob Dole, Al Gore, and John Kerry for convincing proof of this).
hehehe... I agree, though I don't support dissolution. The ineffectiveness and stagnation of the Senate is sometimes the only thing that saves us from congress actually doing something. Lord knows we don't want that.
And there should be a law that bars Senators from running for president.
