Complete Headline: Congress Is Less Popular than Cockroaches, Lice, Root Canals, Colonoscopies, Genghis Khan, Communism, King George

Business Insider notes today:

A June Gallup poll [showed that Congress] had a 10% approval rating [while] and one in March that showed North Korea with a 12% favorability rating among Americans.

That’s nothing…

We’ve previously documented that the U.S. Congress is less popular among the American people than cockroaches, lice, root canals, colonoscopies, traffic jams, used car salesmen, Genghis Khan, Communism, BP during the Gulf oil spill, Nixon during Watergate or King George during the American Revolution.

Postscript: While some wrongly assume that partisan gridlock is the cause of Congress' unpopularity, the truth is that there has been bipartisan unity among Congress members in:

That's why Congress is so unpopular.

My daughter has been to Ulan Bator and out in the country (way out). She said of all the Asian countries she traveled in, Mongolia was one she had no desire to return to.

50’s Soviet architecture, very excessive crime and theft (in the city) as well as really bad food.

COLONOSCOPIES actually are of some use, Congress is like dog foo on shoe, useless, stints and is generally annoying and can be detrimental!

When I was a kid I read Ghengis Khan and The Mongol Horde. I think it’s wrong to compare him to Congress. He had some redeeming qualities unlike Congress.
