The Halls of Power
Members of the Senate have been overheard discussing the nomination of Samuel Alito:
SEN LINCOLN CHAFEE (R-RI): It was really very embarrassing. Danny Eddison had been buggering the pool boy in the sauna for months. One afternoon he went to actually have a sauna and discovered the pool boy buggering Mrs. Eddison. Naturally one of them had to go.
SEN OLYMPIA SNOWE (R-ME): Naturally. And he can't keep the pool boy: he'd be seen as violating the principles of his organization.
CHAFEE: Oh? The Kato Institute hardly shares the principles of Focus on Family.
SNOWE: Yes, but a new pool boy costs far less than a divorce settlement.
CHAFEE: Of course. Oh, Olympia, you're such a cut-up. Never change. Hi, Ted. What's the word?
SEN TED KENNEDY (D-MA): Spoiling for a fight, Linc. Alito's opened up the floodgate. Same for you, I trust.
SNOWE: You would not believe the pressure. A protestor threw a turkey at me this morning on the way to my office. Swear to Buckley, a turkey.
KENNEDY: Was it pro-life or pro-choice poultry?
SNOWE: All I know is, that's one less thing John has to buy for Thanksgiving dinner.
KENNEDY: How is your husband?
SNOWE: Emasculated, like all husbands of female politicians.
KENNEDY: Even the ones who are former two-term governors and now CEO's of major a major education-services company that operates the Art Institutes of America?
SNOWE: Especially the ones who are former two-term governors and—
CHAFEE: However the fight goes, Alito's got the donations pouring in.
KENNEDY: Soft and hard, as Bobby used to say. Left and right. The Dean tells me we're gearing up for a major political assault, old school Democratic party style.
SNOWE: That's so cute.
CHAFEE: Do you have novelty bobbly-heads?
KENNEDY: Yes. If you need me, I'll be
ALL: Sooo drunk!
KENNEDY: See ya.
CHAFEE: You coming to the Senate Christmas party?
SNOWE: Wouldn't miss it for the world. Remember last year, when Liddy Dole had way too many Boilermakers and got freaky with Jay Rockefeller in the bathroom?
