This is the face of mischief. Before Mikey Riley left to study in Spain, we had several strategy meetings in planning Jeremy’s run for congress eight years from now. After a few drinks we will start to address each other as if we are on the floor of the Senate (with the bartender being The Speaker, although we know he is in The House). After a few more drinks, we will scream at each other.
Yesterday, Scotty was telling us how he once set his nipples on fire. I interrupted the story with, “Point of order! What is accomplished by setting one’s nipple on fire?”
Jeremy: “Will the senior senator from Rhode Island please stop asking foolish questions.”
Alexis: “Will the Speaker remind the junior senator from Massachusetts that I have the floor and HE has two drinks on his desk.”
J: “I have every right to stand up and stop foolish questions from my respected colleague because he wears high heels in his pool!”
A: “Mr. Speaker, my respected and drunk colleague from the great state of Chappaquidick, I mean Massachusetts, should sit his hamhocks down and decide whether he should return the bottle of gin Senator Kennedy just sent over to him.”
J: “Will the very, very senior senator from Rhode Island shut his pie-hole? He bakes cakes with files in them and sends them to Buddy Cianci and was a mafia butt-boy in his youth”
A: “Mr. Speaker, ever since the Massachusetts delegation got bar service to the floor of the senate AND made Tom DeLay waitress them, they have been drunk with power and just about anything else that comes in a bottle.”
This might have escalated to fisticuffs had not Brazil just won the game and suddenly half-naked Brazilian boys and girls were running up and down the corridors of Congress. We hugged each other, pulled on soccer jerseys, and realized that some things are more important than politics.
Jeremy’s going-away party is Wednesday at 8PM.

I think that you should move to Washington (if Bryan and Brian will let you cross the city line). You make more sense than the current administration.
Although the junior senator from Massachusetts has a point about wearing heels in the pool!

The part that was left out of this story was the junior senator from New York who, although sitting right next to this ruccous, apparently was on holiday and downing rum runners faster than the speaker could make them. Aaaaah, never a dull moment at the Palace . . . er . . . I mean . . . in the chambers of congress!
OF COURSE! Who wouldn't expect you to side with another resident of Transylchusetts, Countess?
OMG, junior senator from New York...I didn't recognized you, Hillary, without your legs shaved.
I qualified "The Speaker" issue in the second sentence of the post. If you would take the bottle out of your hand for five minutes, my respected fellow New Englander, maybe you could read a complete paragraph.
My goodness, such a ruckus. Just requesst a quorum call and slip out the side door. And quit slopping cocktails on that beautiful carpet! That's paid for by real tax payers!!
