Beer summit?

Our darling Ohio Republican Representative Robert Mecklenborg has finally resigned after getting arrested for DUI under dubious circumstances last April.

I'd love to play matchmaker between Anthony Weiner and Robert Mecklenborg. They could meet up for a Beer Summit.

Weiner: "I didn't even touch that girl."

Mecklenborg: "Neither did I, but man-o-man I sure came close. And I HATE wasting a dose of Viagra like that--If ya know what I mean."

Weiner: "You? You've got no complaints. No one called for your resignation. You weren't on CNN's front page for days on end."

Mecklenborg (with a rheumy smile): "I know. Ya shoulda picked Ohio. Ya shoulda picked the other party. Hell, a tweet? No one would ever have said a thing." (knocks back a shot of Jameson) "Christ awmighty, I got flat-out busted for driving drunk and hardly anyone noticed. As long as you wave the flag, talk pro-life and pro-gun, they don't care what you do."

For a poetic touch, maybe they could have this blessed exchange in the brand-spanking-new fully stocked bar* in the Ohio State House.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

*Yo Gov? Are we allowed to take our guns in your new bar too?
