Professor, what the hell are you talking about?  Why the US Senate of course.

At one time it was called the most exclusive club in America now it is just called a comedy of errors.  These people spend more time back stabbing, back biting, partisan tap dancing and insuring that congressional gridlock is the rule of the day, than they do actually accomplishing anything.

Why do you think so many senators cannot wait to get out of there?  They jump at the chance to run of president or become a cabinet member or return home to run for governor.

What makes it such a dysfunctional family?  well to begin with the whole idea of seniority is just stupid.  Those that are best suited for the leadership are not those old farts that have been around since Christ was a corporal.  Just because someone is old and fat does not give them a corner on expertise,  just shows they play a mean political game.

Maybe the Senate should take a page from the House and find a fresh face to put out there for the public to focus on….you know someone in the same mold as Cantor…..the Senate’s front men now are old and tired and are pretty ineffective at carrying a message.
