This week, because it’s not like they have anything better to do, senators from Texas and Arkansas got into a fight over who has the best queso.
You can see in that video Senator John Cornyn looking on with a smile on his face (Cornyn would weigh in as well). Cruz delivered that speech with such eloquence. There’s no teleprompter.
I believe that’s the first time I’ve heard queso described as a “visceral, emotional family bond.”
Thanks to Senator Tom Cotton, though, I learned Arkansas claims to have invented queso in 1935.
Surely, that was the Greatest Generation.
It was a busy week at the Capitol. Louie Gohmert had already been reprimanded by Capitol staff for cookin’ ribs on his office balcony.
This begs the question, though: What else is Congress cooking on its balcony?!
