Luciano Hastert. Staffers were stunned yesterday to hear some warbling coming out of the inner sanctum of Speaker Dennis Hastert's (R-Ill.) office.

It turns out that the Speaker was singing a patriotic tune that will be used in public service announcements promoting tourism in D.C., which has been hit hard since Sept. 11. Hastert's line was, "Of thee I sing, baby!"

The producers will splice together clips from Hastert, Senate Majority Leader Thomas Daschle (D-S.D.), first lady Laura Bush and other celebs to use in commercials.

"He may have a career as an opera singer," cracked Hastert spokesman John Feehery. "He has a surprisingly good voice."

I wonder if Laura is singing, too?

I just now saw this thread, after doing a search. Worth a chuckle, for sure. :-]
