Just how unpopular is Boehner’s Tea Party Congress? A new Public Policy Polling survey decided to test Congress’ favorability rating against a variety of people, places, and things.
First the good news: Congress is slightly more popular than telemarketers (45-35), the Kardashians (49-36), North Korea (61-26), the ebola virus (53-25), Lindsay Lohan (45-41), Fidel Castro (54-32), playground bullies (43-38), meth labs (60-21), communism (57-23), and gonorrhea (53-28).
The bad (hilarious) news? American voters prefer root canals (32-56) Nickelback (32-39), colonoscopies (31-58), traffic jams (34-56), cockroaches (43-45), Donald Trump (42-44), France (37-46), and an interesting irony another type of blood-sucker head lice (19-67). That’s right AATTP’ers – Americans prefer blood-sucking head lice to the blood-sucking (and sucking in general) Tea Party Congress. Check out Rachel Maddow’s video!
