Letters: Congress’ fine acting job

Summary

I recently watched “Pocketful of Miracles,” an old movie with Betty Davis. One scene showed Davis made over for her daughter, who was going to visit her in New York.

I recently watched "Pocketful of Miracles," an old movie with Betty Davis. One scene showed Davis made over for her daughter, who was going to visit her in New York. It showed her hair dresser and dress makers come out all disheveled and hair askew, fanning themselves.

Who does this remind you of but the Senate and Congress over this so-called "fiscal cliff?" They came out at the last minute from closed meetings acting just like Davis' assistants.

I recommend them for an Academy Award. Can't the public see it is all a movie script? Are we so dumbed down that we can't see it is all a show, trying to impress the public about how hard they work ? As for me, I'm not impressed.

Nor am I, Earl. And I'm sure there are many more Americans like us.

The trick will be getting everyone to remember this next time we go to the ballot box.

It's long past time to vote all the incumbents out and start

I can't name ONE Congress man/woman that I honestly truely admire.

charlatan is the only word that comes to mind.

The House of Representatives is by far the worst.

Guys, I'm not sure that Congress doesn't work hard. I think they work plenty hard. I just question if they work effectively.
