Congress More Hated Than BP, the IRS and Communism

Oh, and Paris Hilton too.

I don’t know what this all means; probably nothing.  I’ve always been amused by these statistical displays, like Harper’s Index (no relation).

Senator Michael Bennet (D—Colorado) had a field day with these public approval ratings on MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown” last week:

The IRS:  40%

BP (during the height of last year’s oil spill):  16%

Paris Hilton:  15%

The idea of America “going Communist” — 11%

Huge Chavez:  9%

U.S. Congress:  9%

As the linked article says:

“Bringing the government to a standstill over and over again to spite Barack Obama (current approval 47% and tracking upward) is working out really well.”
