You may not like all of "it," but U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, unlike many of her colleagues, isn't sitting around twiddling her thumbs in Congress.

Based on info obtained from congress.gov, Landrieu is tied for the "top co-sponsor" in the Senate, and the powerful Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee, which she chairs, is the most successful committee in the upper chamber. (She also serves on the second most successful Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.)
