I am watching season 5 of West Wing
Bartlet's approval is at 49% and for that reason the Repuke Congress is beating him senseless.

Back here in real life, the stupid drunk in the Wh has a 30% approval rating and is up to his gin-blossomed neck in felonious business, and gets whatever he wants.

Why does the Dem Congress not stand up to Smirk?

1. one is TV
the other is Reality, and the Dems, I think, are beating * up in a very clever, anti-Rethuglican way (meaning they're not obnoxious bullies): investigations that cast light on malfeasance, a steady stream of bad news after bad news, and painting him into untenable corners eg. the Iraq Funding Bill. Pelosi ain't Gingrich, thank God, but the damage to * is the same, if not more catastrophic in the end.

And also consider that Bartlet usually gets his way on foreign policy.
