Just who the f_ck are these state senators that don't want to eat "what the general public gets"? You'd think that they all turned into Maria Cantwell somehow. I'd be willing to bet that less than 10% of the voters here in Washington could even name their state senator - I can't. So these state legislators have an ego that fits Hillary - not some low paid state hack.
Here's another item that should gripe anyone who lives in this state: Washington's current investment portfolio is valued at over $60 billion. Yes, that's billion. That's thirty years worth of the state budget. Think of that the next time they want to raise our taxes. Who the hell authorized our state to spend our tax money on an investment portfolio? What are they going to do with it? Who profits? What about "the general public"????
"I regret that I have but one knife to give for my entree".
Patrick Henry's younger brother, Emille, a woefully misinformed elitist, who thought he was the important brother in the family.
I'm welling up at the realization of the gastronomic sacrifices these servants of the public are willing to make. Should we send Lipton Cup of Soup to sustain these brave leaders through their time of crisis??
"I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read the article about how your senators are so upset about temporarily losing their French chefs and private dining room. They actually have to dine with the common folk, poor babies!
"One is reminded of Marie Antoinette's arrogant remark, "Let them eat cake." They are totally out of touch with the American people. Don't think I won't keep this in mind if any of them decide to run for federal level offices."

A meal fit for a king, and since no refrigeration or complicated preparation is necessary, they can be eaten at the desk of these royal senators so they they do not have to interact with the hoi polloi. King Oscar sardines are rich in Omega-3's and the olive oil it is packed in is very good for you as well. Just add soda crackers and a mug of stout and you got yourself a meal.

The humanity of it all. How will their poor colons take it. Imagine having to eat regular people food
I'm shocked the people of Washington State would not take better care of their Lords and Ladies table fair.
Maybe we should conduct ourselves a little investigation...?
There's really nothing more intimate and peaceful than a lunch group of 49.
A standing ovation for their French chefs while they're laying off state workers? The arrogance of these publicly elected SOBs is beyond comprehension. Ya got an email address for Lt. Gov. Brad Owen? I don't live in WA but I'd like to ream him on this anyway.
Eating MRE's for 45 days straight in Afghanistan sucked. All of us would have killed for a stinkin hamburger.
How did we as a nation ever sink so low as to allow do-nothing elitist scumbags like that to represent us?
That place needs an enema
After reading this, I had to double-check this wasn't from The Onion. What a sissy. Who do this jerk think he is? He sounds like some kind of spoiled child of royalty.
