Is Congress Worse Than Legislature?
You might think it would be difficult to find a new way to insult Congress. Back in 1873, Mark Twain said, "I never can think of Judas Iscariot without losing my temper. To my mind, Judas Iscariot was nothing but a low, mean, premature, Congressman." And in the 1930s, humorist Will Rogers said, "This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer." But it seems that Moscow's congressman, first-term Republican Raul Labrador (pictured), has found a way.Early last week, he said Congress is worse than the Idaho Legislature. Quite a putdown, that. The Spokesman's Betsy Z. Russell wrote that Labrador told the Idaho House and Senate since he's been in Washington, D.C., "My appreciation for the Idaho Legislature has only grown more"/Lee Rozen, Moscow-Pullman Daily News.
