I think it is worthwhile to look at the names of the members of the Senate Democratic caucus who voted to condemn a political advertisement.  This might make some sort of sense if this were a Republican Congress.  But, then again, A new Gallup poll came out.  Congress’s approval rating has shot up to 24 percent.  Parcing it by party, the Republicans give a 37 percent approval for Congress; the Democrats have a 23 percent approval rating.  Which makes some sort of sense, since  — for example — you see the Congress today throwing red meat to the Republican base by condemning a liberal organization that donates money to the Democratic Party.

And, of course, the list goes on to all 49 Republicans.
