Who are your Top 10 favorite people in Congress this month?
Below is 'my' list:

The Senate
Claire McCaskill - cause she is a great representative of our female gender. A woman with brains and balls ;)
Dick Durbin
Al Franken
Bob Casey - mainly cause I love to listen to his voice when he speaks
Robert Byrd - made the list for hanging in there all of these years

The House
Alan Grayson
Anthony Weiner
Patrick Kennedy (my heart is still breaking for the losses that the Kennedys have endured)
Nancy Pelosi - is on the list for her awesome smack down of Boehner at the end the the Health Care Summit
Barney Frank - the one fellow that is never afraid to tell ya exactly what he thinks!
Debbie Wasserman-Schulz - another great representative of our female gender, with brains and balls!

3. Great list!
Mine would include Rep. Schakowsky (she's mine), Harry (who's got to have the world's worst job) and, this month, to Brown for shaking up the republicans with his YES vote on jobs!

4. Kucinich, Grayson, Franken, Weiner, Inslee
I'd give Byrd a pass. And isn't Debbie Wasserman-Schulz heading the evil DCCC?

17. Fortney "Pete" Stark and the spirit of Paul Wellstone
Stark has a temper, true, but I'd be pissed, too, if I had to deal with idiot Repugs and tea baggers.
