They investigated space aliens and Hunter Biden’s art dealer. They punched and they groped. They championed Confederates and insurrectionists—while disparaging the military and sabotaging the economy. They tied up the House so often with far-right fantasies that they produced what was arguably the least effective session of Congress in history.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDana Milbank, widely-read \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e columnist, spent a year reporting from inside the Capitol, watching the circus from the front row.  The result, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFools on the Hill\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, is simultaneously horrifying and laugh-out-loud funny.
