John Adams on Congress

I was listening to the soundtrack of 1776 the other day. As I did, I couldn't help but think that John Adams would be as fed up with the US Congress today as he was with the 2nd Continental Congress in 1776. Here are Adams opening lines from the play & the 2nd song he sings. Substitute Washington DC for Philadelphia & see how well his sentiments fit the US Congress of 2007.
"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress! And by God, I have had this Congress!"
