From The Washington Post

If you had the choice of being a member of Congress, or a member of Club Fed Prison, which one would you take? I would probably select Congress, especially the Senate, instead of the House. But I would hold out before I finally made my decision and be like: “Come on, these can’t be the only options here.”

When you are a member of Congress, especially in the leadership and your party controls the chamber that you are a member of and personal accident attorneys are more trusted then your place of employment, senators and representatives have a big problem.

But as the great political satirist George Carlin once said: American voters get the government that they voted for. And I would only add, the government that we deserve. This is what happens when you have a divided government, including a divided Congress, in a a country that’s as politically divided as we are, unlimited gridlock.
