CONgress: can’t pass anything
In both cases, the inability to “pass” can be because of an obstruction, or a result of stuffing one’s self full of unhealthy junk that has no substantive value.
In both cases, the inability to “pass” can make a person crabby. Also, their discomfort can cause some odd facial expressions:
Nope, not a coincidence at all. Ladies and gentlemen, the reason our Congress can’t do much of anything: they are, literally and figuratively, full of s***.
