Last week I attended a fun event on the top floor (I think it was) of the Hart Senate Office Building where a combination of members (and others) of the state societies of Tennessee, Texas (most of the attendees), Alabama, and South Carolina met to carouse and see and congratulate the four state cherry blossom princesses.
You'd think it'd be a good time for congressional reps. to shake hands and build constituent strength among the activists but nary a one did I spy from Tennessee (my state). Most of the crowd was the young staffer set, and, gee, can they dress any worse? Just give them a plastic bag and watch them whine: : "Lady, can you spare a dime?"
Still, it was a delightful time, representatives or not.
I rode up the elevator with a handsome lad, Andy Rubert, III who formerly worked for Senator Frist and is now a "financial adviser". Although Republican, still so personable and friendly, I've almost a mind to call him for advice for my wee fund. And dressed for the occasion!
Anyway, there was Susan Chafin from Columbia, Tennessee, Cong. Bob Clement's daughter, Rachel, James from Texas, Marguerite from Texas, and an opthamologist, Dan ?, with his dad, scouring the environs for a place to land professionally. These are the names I can remember.
Plentiful alcohol (beer and wine) and good hors oeuvres which mostly lasted the entire evening. As usual, I am one of the first to arrive and the last to leave, but I do believe a good time was had by all. Oh! And the lobbyists paid for the whole blooming (they were) thing!
