"Life is merely an extension of high school" - even for US Senators.
In the spirit of non-partisanship, Pennsylvania's two US senators, Democrat Bob Casey and newly-elected Republican Pat Toomey agreed to sit together for the State of the Union Address last Tuesday. Alas, they could not find two seats together. Pat Toomey found himself a prime seat on the aisle right behind Chief Justice Roberts and in all the good camera angles while poor Bob Casey was stuck in the rear of the chamber "next to some anonymous Representative from California" according to the AP.
Instant Message - Senator Bob to Senator Pat - "So much for Keystone State camaraderie. Here you are with the cool kids from the Supreme Court, on camera and all, while I'm stuck back here with Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". You couldn't save me a seat up there?"
IM - Senator Pat to Senator Bob - "Do I even know you? By the way, Ruth Bader Ginsberg's robe collar thingie is real lace just like Judge Judy, not that you would know from where you are sitting, LOSER!"
IM - Senator Bob to Senator Pat - "How about some respect? I'm the senior Senator from Pennsylvania, you know."
IM - Senator Pat to Senator Bob - "And yet it's the junior Senator from PA who is sitting up here with the cool kids and who, by the way, is invited to a party at Mitch McConnell's house this weekend. His parents will be out of town and all the hot GOP chicks will be there. Only the entire Fox News lineup. Who do you Democrats have at your weekend party - Rachel Madow or Sonia Sotomayor?
IM - Senator Bob to Senator Pat - "OK, I get it. Now that you are in with the cool GOP crowd. you are dumping me as your friend. If every teen movie ever made is a guide, I'll get my revenge though. I will go to "Mean Girls" screenwriter (and PA native) Tina Fey for advice."
