Word Association: Congress Is Satan
Posted on 12.05.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 10:16 pm

This amusing exchange occurred as part of a focus group in Philadelphia:

Pollster: Write the name that comes to mind when you think of Congress.

Retiree: Satan.

Pollster: Why did you write Satan?

Retiree: Because I wasn’t sure of the correct spelling of “Beelzebub.”

That exchange reminds me of a campaign trail encounter in West Virginia years ago. I was trailing a congressman as he and campaign aides knocked on doors in a small town.

As one of the staffers approached a house, an elderly man hollered down from the porch, “Whatcha sellin’, young man?”

“A congressman,” the campaign worker answered.

“Must be goin’ pretty cheap right about now,” the man answered.
