Oh, the Horror! Politico has uncovered unseemly behavior by one of the meanie Republicans in the Congress. This set of misdeeds need to be shielded from the little ones and our Republic is potentially saved by this investigative reporting. Who had any idea? Oh wait ... you say that this sort of thing has been going on since the Congress first assembeled in Philadelphia. That this is a long standing bipartisan sport and both parties play at some level. Most Hall of Famers of this sport are Democrats. Barbara Lee, for example live a block or two from her Congressional office, but she employees a chauffeur would delivers her from her home to her office and back so that she can avoid any accidental contact with a member of the public. But, trying to find articles naming Democrats of these crimes is harder than finding the Fountain of Youth.
When my brother in law was young, he worked as an elevator operator in the Capitol (patronage job) and later a staffer for our Senator. He was in college and therefore his job description included menial tasks like this along with many fellow young people working at the Capitol. Give me a break. Politico is scraping the bottom of the barrel on this.
Pity they couldn’t quit their jobs if they were so dissatisfied.
We need to know the races of the staff in order to determine if this is terrible or not.
oh the horror
hang out in the congressman’s house
through food at the dog
have sex in their bed
musta been aweful
How much were the staffers paid? If you offer enough money to me I will be happy to pick up dog do.
They can go work for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Heard he has huge benefit package.
It could have been much, much worse.
They could have been working for the notoriously difficult and tyrannical Sheila Jackson Lee, oft-times nominated as meanest and most self-entitled Congress-person.
"Sophie, their Jack Russell-Pomeranian mix"
That is so wrong! Evil. I vote guilty!
What would you call such a monster, a Jackaranian? A Russepom? Horrible stuff.
HIT PIECE! When it takes three to write a dribble piece, it is a hit piece. Spread the blame game.
Mr. Congressman doing wrong, while the aides didn't tell him to gfy.
The dems must be targeting Garrett in the mid-terms to put out something like this.
Trying to make the rest of the state as blue as NORVA.
Well...yeah...
I was a Congressional Aide for two years. I did all sorts of weird crap for the man.
Picked up dry cleaning, took his kid to school, bought milk for them on the way to picking them up at the airport, etc..
Kinda goes with the territory..
Too funny - it’s considered a special honor/treat to become a page/aide in the gub’mint....they just don’t believe in paying the dues for where it might lead them and for the doors it might open...
“We became their gofers.”
Poor, precious Millenials
