Capitol Hill Jokers
I'm on the Hill for the introduction of a new bill that would change the Veterans Affairs appropriations process. In the briefing room, we've got a joker, who interrupted Sen. Akaka from the crowd to remind him that it was appropriate that he was introducing the bill on Lincoln's birthday. Later, he chimed in to tell Rep. John Hall, a former member of the band Orleans, "you're still the one!" a reference to one of the band's most famous songs.
