Remember the movie Animal House? (At a 1962 College, Dean Vernon Wormer is determined to expel the entire Delta Tau Chi Fraternity, but those troublemakers have other plans for him.)
During the credits, John Belushi's character becomes a US Senator.
Well seems truth and fiction are not far apart. Have you heard of the "Capital Hill Club"? A short distance from the U.S. Capitol stands the Capitol Hill Club, a refined and elegant environment for your business, political, and social activities. Actually it is called National Republican Club of Capitol Hill or should that be the Delta Tau Chi Fraternity house?
House Minority Leader John Boehner has told members of his caucus caught partying with lobbyists to “knock it off,” according to the New York Post. Who, particularly is he targeting? Maybe Rep. Lee Terry of Nebraska, whom a Post reporter overheard asking a female lobbyist “Why did you get me so drunk?” at the Capital Hill Club, until he realized the reporter was nearby and changed the subject to her family. Terry was given a 100 percent rating by the Christian Coalition for his pro-family voting record. Wonder is the Christian Coalition approves of being "sooooo drunk"?
Or Missouri Rep. Sam Graves, who was recently photographed with a blond lobbyist at a restaurant in DC.
Lobbyist Glenn LeMunyon's DC row house (or Frat House??) has been a hot spot for lobbyists who want to meet House members, including California's Duncan Hunter, Pennsylvania's Bill Shuster and Terry. LeMunyon uses the house as an office during the day, a fund-raising space Some nights, and a place for congressmen to mingle after-hours with lobbyists.
You can take the boy out of the Frat but you can't take the Frat out of the boys.
DC seems like it would be a very compelling place to live.
ReplyDeleteSeparatist Clubs! Why can't people of different beliefs mingle more?? Let's focus on what we have in common.
