A tearful Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla) blamed heartless Republicans for the severe hardships the sequester is imposing on members of her staff.
Nearly half of my office staff has been forced to forgo lunch on a daily basis because of the cruel budget cuts that have been forced down our throats by the GOP, the Congresswoman claimed.
The toll of suffering has been less than half because some have been able to make do with sack lunches of leftovers or peanut butter sandwiches they bring from home, she explained. This is not a solution that can be applied across-the-board, though. Some simply lack the skill required to assemble their own lunches. Others feel that going out for lunch is an essential part of being a person of stature.
Wasserman-Schultz suggested that those wanting to help preserve the dignity and health of those serving in government could make a cash donation to the Congressional Aide Feeding Fund and should call her office (202- 225-7931) to arrange for automatic monthly transfers from their checking accounts.

I called, didn’t you? Can’t see poor Dem staffers starving now, can we ?
John, you don't know how close to the truth this is, as is the rest of your satire. Hysterical
Short but sweet. Cudos on hitting the liberal nerve!
Somehow I knew you would use this story for this week’s satire. Too irresistible to pass up.
Thanks yet again for the ping.
Darn it...this is just sooo sad.
If she had claimed that her staff desperately needed an increased daily liquor/drug ration I would have been more sympathetic.
Well, Deb, either pay them out of your own pocket, or tell them to go get a real job.
