A new senator from Iowa, eager to make America a better place to live, is shocked to find out that everyone on Capital Hill is bored out of their minds, and no one pays attention to anything!
Well, I paraphrased a little. He was embarrassed when some kids came to see how our nation’s laws were made, and found out it involves many games of Solitaire. The most interesting (shocking? sad?) part is a quote at the end of the article:
Senate Minority Leader Mary Lundby, R-Marion, a 21-year Statehouse veteran and occasional video gamer, shrugged off Heckroth’s advice.
“Freshmen are always shocked by what goes on. Next year he won’t even mention it. He’ll probably be playing games,” Lundby said.
I guess this is what a 90% incumbency rate will do.
