As if we needed confirmation, Washingtonian Magazine recently ran the results of a poll of congressional staffers rating the best and worse in Congress in a number of categories. Our very own George Allen made the list, which should make us all proud. But, oops, check out his honor:

NO ROCKET SCIENTIST

1. Tie: Rick Santorum (R-PA), Patty Murray (D-WA)
2. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
3. Tie: George Allen (R-VA), Jim Inhofe (R-OK)

Are we surprised?
