Let's see what other offerings there are.

"I don't mind what Congress does, as long as they don't do it in the streets and frighten horses." -Victor Hugo
"In my many years I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress." - John Adams, 2nd US president
"I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress." -Ronald Reagan
"We many not imagine how our lives could be more frustrating and complex - but Congress can." -Cullen Hightower
"Congress consists of one third, more or less, scoundrels; two thirds, more or less, idiots; and three thirds, more or less, poltroons." -H.L. Mencken
"You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think." -Milton Berle
"If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?" -Unknown
That's it for today. I hope I got a smile out of you!
