Even Pelosi Disappointed with Her Own Congress

The AP is out with a story on how even Nancy Pelosi is "disappointed" with Congress, you know, the Congress that her party now controls and where she's SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE! Money quote:

"I know that Congress has low approval ratings," Pelosi, D-Calif., said at her weekly news conference. "I don't approve of Congress, because we haven't done anything that — we haven't been effective in ending the war in Iraq. And if you asked me in a phone call, as ardent a Democrat as I am, I would disapprove of Congress as well." (Emphasis added.)

I couldn't have said it any better myself: The Dems "haven't done anything!"
