No-name congressman thinks he’s a big deal

It’s a list of demands that makes even Mariah Carey look low-maintenance.

A hefty, eight-page memo detailing what it takes to be a driver for Rep. Todd Rokita has been revealed — and it’s not for the faint of heart.

The Indiana congressman demands that his chauffeurs double as personal assistants who greet him at pickup with a fresh cup of hot, black coffee and never be without gum and hand sanitizer.

Rokita’s toiletry bag, with his toothbrush and toothpaste, is to be kept in the trunk of the car, along with a nearly 20-item supply box dubbed “The Football” containing an always-stocked inventory of more gum, hand sanitizer, a blue Sharpie (for signing letters), lozenges, Kleenex, a stapler, staples and a staple remover and Shout wipes.

Besides chauffeuring him, drivers must ensure that Rokita is never photographed with a drink in his hand — but are asked to “get Todd a non-alcoholic drink that he can carry with him” when he arrives at an event.

“Water, diet soda and coffee are best,” the memo advised.

The Republican’s diva-like demands are outlined in the internal memo titled “Instructions on Staffing and Driving” and obtained by Politico.

The politician is also quite the backseat driver, demanding that he be informed of “turns and sudden stops” and that his driver avoid “sudden acceleration or braking.”

“The goal is to provide as smooth a ride as possible,” the memo said.

A coat hanger must always be available in the vehicle so Rokita can hang up his coat or jacket.

The 47-year-old, a top contender in Indiana’s competitive GOP Senate race next year, also does not want to be interrupted “with unnecessary conversation” during his precious prep time in the car.

And don’t let him forget his personal items after an event or meeting.

Supposedly, disgraced Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich's "football" was his hairbrush.

I can believe that this story could be true, but with all the leaking going on, it could just as likely be false.

Congress members pay for NOTHING. We pay for everything.

Nothingburger. Let’s see what the demands are for Democrat officeholders, such as Queen Mad Maxine. I’m sure Emperor Zero and the Butcheress of Benghazi never made demands on their peons.

Provided this is even true (NY compost taken from a Politico story), DINOS are extinct. And ‘pubbies” being “asses” is no reason to elect a member of a racist Stalinist party. That’s like breaking your window cause it’s dirty while it’s 0 degrees outside. MAYBE he’s a bit anal and asks the people he’s PAYING who are not slaves to do things a certain way, BIG DEAL. The most conservative democrats in Congress voted to keep OSAMACARE and want to tax your family to death.

Rokita is hardly a “no-name” by the way, he’s a former IN Sec of State and is running for the Senate. This hit piece is obviously cause the democrat Senator Red Joe Donelley is crapping his diaper in fear. The ONLY PURPOSE of this lame-stream media farticle is to get people to vote for democrat swine. Pigs, filthy pigs. How gullible are you feeling today?
