Republican carves up desk

[Reloy3]

In the Federal House, IIRC, it is a tradition to carve your name in your desk, and some members of Congress specifically ask for the desks of their heroes.

So, a member of the Tenn House of Reps carves her name in a desk. But since she’s a member of the GOP the headline becomes Republican Carves Her Name in Desk.

yeesh… the liberal media never misses a chance :rolleyes:

Um, that’s not the headline of the news article. Unless you mean the thread title, in which case I don’t think ITR Champion is really “the media”.

You are correct. A thousand pardons to the OP. :o

This liberal feels that this particular story is a great big meh, for what it’s worth.

Well, it is in MUNDANE POINTLESS stuff I must share, so that’s a given. It’s hardly an earth-shattering story, but I don’t think the OP thought it was either. I chuckled and shook my head.

Personally my favorite part of the article was this:

Hurley drew national attention in February for crediting her success in politics and business to the time she spent working at Hooters restaurants in a two-page story for the chain’s magazine.

She said in the article that her Hooters career taught her how overcome obstacles on her way to the state Capitol. “If I could make it at Hooters, I could make it anywhere,” she wrote.

You have to admire somebody who was able to overcome the obstacles that an attractive young woman with large breasts faces in America.

“To ask me details about what happened three months ago, I couldn’t tell you,” Hurley said.

I hate this way of speaking. She is basically saying she can’t be expected to remember anything that happened more than a few months ago, except she says it in such a stilted way the reporter was probably still scratching his head as she walked away. Also, if she really can’t remember what she used I have to wonder what kinds of sharp impliments she normally carries into the house chamber.

The vice president’s desk is covered with the initials of the veeps who used it. Decades worth of veeps have signed it.

Oddly, Dan Quayle’s initials have an extra ‘e’ on the end.

In the same way Jesus was dead 3 days.

Or, in Biblical terms, “Pi” days.

You can’t blame her for the poorly constructed response. To ask her details about what she was saying at the beginning of her sentence, she couldn’t tell you.

This is, in fact, the only official function of the Vice President.

@VinylTurnip

That and emptying the bucket of warm piss.

You forgot about protecting the space-time continuum.

I’m more worried about the fact that she acts like it’s an everyday occurrence to not remember what you did three months ago. This isn’t something she does all the time. If you do something new you tend to remember it. It makes me wonder if she remembers what she’s voted on.
