Our ::Cough:: Role Models and Law Makers

The bountiful Bill of Portland, Maine, posting his Cheers and Jeers at Daily Kos, offers us this from an email:

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

29 have been accused of spousal abuse and 7 have been arrested for fraud.

9 have been accused of writing bad checks and 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least two businesses. 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit.

3 have done time for assault and 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges.

8 have been arrested for shoplifting. 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
