Congressional Missed Connections

By

When Congress is in session, the Missed Connections section of Craigslist isn’t just for misunderstood subway glances and grocery clerk crushes.

You: Filibuster Brown.
Me: Shrinking junior member in the last row.

Your recitation of whole episodes of Murder She Wrote was brilliant. Didn’t want it to end but I fell asleep in hour 16 and when I woke up, you were gone. Email me, I want to hear what matters to you.

_____

??Senate Dining Room last week, you were eating with some old guys and you caught me looking at you, lol. Was that bow-tie for real? Dying to know.

_____

Getting our shoes shined together and I was coveting your tawny Fratellis. Wanted to talk about redistricting but you said that’s for behind closed doors. Can’t stop thinking about that.

_____

Me: Dashing salt and pepper Rep. yelling at an aide in the hallway.
You: Ravishing constituent on a tour of the chamber last Tuesday.

I’m not really that scary. Send a pic so I know it’s you.

_____

??Even though you were across the aisle, I caught your eye roll when the Speaker said “nay” to our bill. Just wanted to let you know you made my day. Compromise soon?

_____

Am I crazy or were you were looking right at me every time you said “two-party system?” If this sounds familiar, email and tell me I’m not crazy.

_____

??After Appropriations yesterday you jokingly proposed a “subcommittee to kill some brain cells.” Sounds more like a caucus to me. Where do I sign up? 🙂

_____

??Debated you on TV the other night and I can’t get your hair out of my mind. I was too shy to ask but I have to know who you see when you’re in the beltway. Is it Frances at the Ritz?  Put “Activist Judges” in the subject of the email so I know it’s you.

_____

??Scene: Barry’s SOU
Me: Wishing I was anywhere else
You: Laughing at something on your phone.

We made eye contact. I was wondering if you play Words With Friends.? Your move: MinorityWhippit

_____

?You met with me in your office last month, I was the one worried about losing my job. That smile looked like more than just glad-handing. Well I lost my job, but maybe I gained a friend (you)? It’s probably a shot in the dark if you’ll ever read this but my fingers are crossed anyway. Like you said, things have to start going my way sometime right? Let me know.
