Plainly 'ridiculous'

A Washington Post/Pew poll asked: If you had to use one single word to describe your impression of the budget negotiations in Washington, what would that one word be? A majority, 69 percent, had nothing polite to say. Folks thought the budget process was: "Ridiculous, disgusting, frustrating, disappointing, stupid, messy, bullshit and terrible" in that order. Sounds about right.
