The photo on the front page may have thrown you off. No, it’s not Debbie Wasserman Schultz, although she’s on my TV so much she’s one of my least favorites. No, the honor of being the least popular person in Congress goes to none other than… drumroll please….

What could be worse than being a member of the House or Senate at a time when only one in 10 give Congress a good-to-excellent rating? How about being the congressional leader voters like the least.
