Life Among Cannibals

“I was walking undressed to the last [massage] table. Another senator, also naked, walked briskly, perhaps at a slight run, and slipped ahead of me. That was something senators just don’t do,”

Arlen Specter, from his new book Life Among Cannibals

Life for a Senator is pretty got-Damned tough. I can see why they need to vote raises for themselves so often. Why the hell don't these guys just wear sandals, togas and leafy crowns? Might as well be Rome.

“For years when [people] groused about Senate perks, I’d reply, ‘You wouldn’t say that if you had to see Ted Kennedy naked in the gym.’ ”

“It was in the whirlpool . . . in 2008 . . . when Ted Kennedy came over and climbed into the bath. Kennedy was one of the Senate’s giants, in many ways. It was as though a giant walrus had plunged into the sea, causing the level to swell.”

“John Thune, who looked like a movie star in or out of clothes, was constantly stretching. His lanky body seemed to have some kinks to iron out.”

what kills me is their LIFETIME 100% pension and 100% health care on our dime -even if they only serve one term...
