EVERYONE hates Congress right now. But all it takes is one twerking fool to make our nation’s (un)governing body look a little bit better.
According to a recent Public Policy Polling survey, 46 percent of respondents have a favorable opinion of Congress, and just 31 percent of people have a favorable opinion of Miley Cyrus.
Congress, the group of people responsible for failing to pass a budget that is, in turn, keeping hundreds of thousands of people out of work, is more likable than a (relatively) harmless pop star.
On the other hand, the things that people do like more than Congress are pretty bad, if not worse than Miley Cyrus. For example:
What do you have a higher opinion of:
Congress or dog poop?
Congress 40%
Dog poop 47%
What do you have a higher opinion of:
Congress or hemorrhoids?
Congress 31%
Hemorrhoids 53%
What do you have a higher opinion of:
Congress or cockroaches?
Congress 42%
Cockroaches 44%
What do you have a higher opinion of:
Congress or the DMV?
Congress 24%
The DMV 58%
So, by the transitive property, dog poop, hemorrhoids, cockroaches and THE FREAKING DMV are more popular than Miley Cyrus.
