The State of the Union Congressional Prom
Candi Cotton’s Blog
It came & went and now the gossip & rumors fly: the State of the Union Congressional Prom. In case you missed it, here are the highlights (and a few juicy untruths): Democrat Mark Udall got cozy with date Republican Jim DeMint. Nancy Pelosi snubbed pretty-boy jock Eric Cantor in favor of older, nerdier Roscoe Bartlett. And the 2 losing Johns (McCain & Kerry) were wallflowers crying on each others’ shoulders.
To nobody’s great surprise, football quarterback and floor sweeper in his daddy’s bar (from where he supplies his friends) John Boehner was elected prom king. He was, however less than thrilled with his prom queen Joseph Biden (Miss Working Class Scranton 2009.) During their traditional dance together, Boehner looked bored, was seen slumping and rolling his eyes, and in general being, like the stereo-typical jock he is, too cool for school. When asked for comment, Boehner intelligently replied, “We can’t win the future with the government of the past, but we can win the Superbowl with either the Steelers or the Packers.”
At the conclusion of the evening, several pairs were seen heading to the back seats of their rented limos to lose their civility: some for the first time, as student council president Barry Obama said, innovation is, “how we make our living, and you never know what you may grab hold of when you reach across the aisle.”
