The Do-nothings Run and Hide

The newly crowned kings of somnolence, inaction, and amorality - our thankfully departed 109th Congress, are playing a children's "it's wasn't me" game with America:

Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) responded by blaming the Senate’s inaction on the appropriations process:

"Some problems Congress faces stem from systemic flaws in America’s processes. No matter who has been in charge, all appropriations bills have passed on time on only three occasions in the past 30 years. Improving things will require a strong mutual commitment on the part of the White House and the leadership in both houses of Congress to reform the spending process, fix entitlements, tackle earmarks and eliminate the deficit."

They met for less days than the 'Do-Nothing' Congress of 1948. It's funny though, that Congress managed to pass a little bill called The Marshall Plan - this Congress cannot even pass the appropriation bills required by law.

Frist and the other acolytes apparently spent too much time with Georgie's scrotum on their chins.
