I don’t follow politics.  Hell, I don’t even vote.  House of Representatives?  Not a clue about what goes on down there.  As far as I know, it’s a bunch of stuffed-shirts voting on crap that may or may not affect me.

Or I could be totally and completely wrong.  Seems they’re a wacky, fun-loving bunch there in the House of Representatives.  Especially those goofy Republicans.

Word got out the other day that Tim Tebow might be in the building, much to the delight of the single ladies present.  Since this is the kind of information that is vital to the proper functioning of the government, an intra-office email was sent out…

Folks:

Several of the singles ladies in my office are hearing rumors that one Tim Tebow is meandering through the House buildings. If one of you might be able to give me a heads up on his general location, these ladies would be very appreciative.

XXXXX

P.S. My apologies for list abuse of this sort.

Probably meant to be funny, in a cutesy sort of way.  I guess.  I didn’t write it, so I can only speculate as to what the writer of the message was trying to convey.

One reply, however, is absolutely hilarious.

Did you check Rep. Shuler’s office? That’s where overrated QBs who have no chance of playing in the NFL usually hang out.

(sorry, just had to do it)

Zing!

See, it works on so many levels.  Because Heath Shuler sucked as a quarterback in the NFL, despite all the hype, and Tim Tebow will suck as a quarterback in the NFL, despite all the hype.

Well played Mr. Jokey Joke Guy congressman…well played.
