A Better Congress Indeed

Here's a great quote from an article in today's New York Times about Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy's early addiction recovery that has been made very public by the press and the courts. What's truly amazing about the quote (if you ask me) is that it was said by a Republican, Rep. Jim Ramstad from Minnesota (and he's oh so right):

The political world could learn much from these gatherings, Mr. Ramstad says. “If we could turn Congress into one big A.A. meeting,” he said, referring to Alcoholics Anonymous, “where people would be required to say what they mean and mean what they say, it would be a lot better Congress.”
