Young Lawmaker Likens Congress to Jr. High

Yep, its just like Junior High, where you get to vote to support your Principal going across town and trashing your rival's classrooms. Except that that's more fun.

"This place is a much more sophisticated junior high school," 30-year-old Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., said recently in an interview. "There are the nice guys that everybody likes, the jocks, the geeks, the bullies — they're all here. It's a representative democracy."

I don't know about the "nice guys everybody likes" (please name me one!), the jocks, or the geeks, but I can name you a few bullies. How do you think he got the name "The Exterminator?" (Oh, sorry, that's his real job.)
