I’ve learned a few things about Congress following the events leading up to a potential shutdown of the government. First and foremost is that many members of Congress have funny names. Some of them sound downright dirty. Here’s a sampling:
- Max Baucus – D, Montana
- Jon Tester – D, Montana
- Harry Reid – D, Nevada
- Barbara Boxer – D, California
- Daniel Akaka – D, Hawaii
- Mike Crapo – R, Idaho
- Dick Durbin – D, Illinois
- Bob Corker – R, Tennessee
- Orrin Hatch – R, Utah
- Maria Cantwell – D, Washington
- Thad Cochran – R, Mississippi
- Wally Herger – R, California
- Bob Filner – D, California
- Jim Himes – D, Connecticuit
- Judy Biggert – R, Illinois
- David Loebsack – D, Iowa
- Dutch Ruppersberger – D, Maryland
- Virginia Foxx – R, North Carolina
- Anthony Weiner – D, New York
- John Boehner – R, Ohio
- Marcia Fudge – D, Ohio
- Chaka Fattah – D, Pennsylvania
- Norman Dicks – D, Washington
I’ve also learned that the Dems are kicking the GOP’s ass when it comes to silly-ass names. Let us know in the comments if you have a favorite.
