Today, GOP Senators and members of the House held a joint press conference stating: “We don’t know anybody.”
Due to recent scandals, most recently the one where GOP Rep Mark Foley was caught sending illicit emails to underage interns, many GOPers have established a policy of creating distance from each other.
At the press conference Senator John McCain said, “I’ve never met any of these people in my life and refuse to somehow be linked to any of them or their scandals. Heck, some of my best friends are Democrats so I really don’t know what you’re talking about. ”
Bill Frist who declined to be photographed with any one else at the afternoon meeting had this statement: “If elected to office, we promise to work with the other side of the aisle as long as no other Republicans are sitting there either. If so, we have no knowledge of any of their actions and refuse to be associated with them.”
A Republican member of the House of Representatives was also on hand at the press conference but wore a fake nose and glasses.
