High fives everybody!!! High Fives!!!
From The Hill, 2006:
American Idol, Senate style
Sens. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) and Larry Craig (R-Idaho) aren’t quite
Jake and Elwood Blues, but they’re putting the band back together, and
given their conservative credentials, they might think they’re on a
mission from God.
Well, not exactly a band, it’s actually a barbershop quartet, which
is just as cool as a blues band — at least that’s what someone needs to
tell Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.)...
...Lott and Craig are auditioning for new singing partners and they’ve
found two solid prospects in Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) and Thune.
...“Senator Thune has a lovely tenor voice,” said Craig, who also sings tenor. “And Senator Bennett has a good baritone.”
“Bob wants to do it,” said Craig, 61. “It’s Thune who doesn’t know.
He thinks it’s a little hokey. He asked if senators do this sort of
thing.”
“I said yes,” said Craig, who has advised his colleague to relax and
live a little. “You’ve got to let your hair down and enjoy it.”
