"Congressional Scallywags"

The Anchoress speaks for many of us when she analyzes the crisis in Washington this way:

"The answer is simple: they are scallywags, corrupt to their bones, and they need to resign or be voted out of office. Resignations would be better. Resignations would indicate that some of these too-complacent, too-comfortable, bloated monsters of ego and untouchability understand that they’ve failed to serve, they’ve failed the nation, and they’ve completely broken our trust in government. Both banking committees should resign. Congressional heads of both parties should resign. And that’s just to start. If President Bush were not leaving in four months, I’d say he should resign, too, but this crisis is ultimately Congress’ baby, and Congress should see the first resignations. Dodd, Frank, Waters, Schumer - they should be the first out the door.
