Sigh. (Shaking Head)

Ezra Klein on the many accomplishments of the 111th Congress; it's greatest perhaps being the Herculean efforts to keep everything it did accomplish such a fucking secret:

That this has been the most "do-something" Congress we've seen in 40 years hasn't made much of an impression on the public. Multiple polls have found that only a minority of voters know that the 111th Congress got more done than most congresses. That's true even among Democrats. Nor has their productivity made the 111th Congress popular. But if they failed as politicians, they succeeded as legislators. And legislating is, at least in theory, what they came to Washington to do.

I can relate. For instance, how many people know I've met Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen?
