“It used to be you had real friends on the other side of the aisle.  It’s not like that anymore.  Society has changed.  The public is to blame as well.  I think the people have gotten dumber.”

– Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), in an exit interview about changes in Congress.

I don’t think the people have gotten dumber.  The politicians have gotten meaner and ruder.  The voters aren’t left with much when they head to the polls.
