Livin' It Up

Apparently MTV has passed on making a Real World style documentary on the four Democratic lawmakers living in a Washington DC row house on Capitol Hill.

That hasn't discouraged the NY Times from writing an article about the situation.

So, laugh it up:

"I once had to pick up a mouse by the tail that Durbin refused to pick up," complained Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, referring to his roommate Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois.

This characterization is not fair to Mr. Durbin, interjected another tenant in the Capitol Hill row house, Representative Bill Delahunt of Massachusetts. For starters, it overlooks Mr. Durbin’s gift for killing rats. "He will kill them with his bare hands," Mr. Delahunt marveled.

The biggest news out of this article: Senator Chuck Schumer doesn't make his bed. For political news, read all about the first 100 hours of the House of Representatives under Democratic leadership.

So, Durbin kills rats with his bare hands. That must come in handy given his line of work. He has his hands full that's for sure.

This was the cuttest little story I have ever read about my Democratic Leadership. They are like the "Odd Team". LOL. Although, I think it's a major waste of a nice pad on such SLOPPY males. If it were ladies, they would keep it really clean. There would be no rats and rodents.

;p

This reminds me of that SNL skit years ago where Robert Dole was part of the "Real World" cast on MTV. One of my favorite Saturday Night Lives!
