Most of our Senators and Representatives are ill-prepared to hold their current positions, as is evident by their behavior and decisions. One salient example is the recent letter regarding the rebuke of Rush Limbaugh by members in the senate. Still another, the subsequent statement on the floor by Sen. Harry Reid and his remarkably unstatesman-like attempt at claiming a part in the good done by Rush's auctioning of the now immortalized letter, which also listed complicit signatories.

What I and many citizens find particularly offensive is the assumption by congress that we don't see through their self-serving actions and lame speeches intended to convey noble motives. The disingenuous nature and disrespect for not only their offices, but also the office of the president, demonstrates ineptness never before witnessed. The significantly diminished character of the nation's leaders has contributed, to some degree, to the decline in the moral fabric of our citizenry.

Very few still hold out hope for the current lot of senators and representatives. With the depth of the deficiencies in integrity, there is little proof of that eventuality.

Sen. Reid, you are a disappointment.
