    Nice cheap shot on Pelosi. Can’t report that 60 minutes story from last night? At least that one was balanced…

    The pie list is funny. Specific to the one you cite, I’m a yes or a no depending on if the language “in one sitting” is used.

    A lot of members of Congress are in the top 1%.

    The number of senators in the top one percent is probably even higher.

    It would be interesting if we could compare the legislators in other countries and the percentage of them that are in the top one percent in their respective assemblies. I wonder if our congressmen and senators are proportionately wealthier than U.S. citizens relative to those lawmakers are to their citizens in their respective countries.
