Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to share some news with the Members of the House. Members of the House, we thought it only right to continue our efforts to have the women show up the men. Our bipartisan congressional women's softball team had another amazingly successful softball game to raise money for the Young Survival Coalition. It was our second annual game. In the last 2 years, we have raised more than $80,000 for the Young Survival Coalition. We think that is not bad for 49 years of a congressional baseball game and 2 years of a congressional women's softball game to do pretty well in that time. This year we got smart and decided to play women that were maybe a little less athletic and a little older than the team we played last year, and we played the Capitol female press corps. We were doing great until the sixth inning. Then a couple of us got a little tired, and we had a couple of ringers that we were concerned the press brought in. But, in fairness, they did a fantastic job, even though we lost 13-7. Congratulations to the press team. The press team did a fantastic job. They were devoted and dedicated and worked hard. I yield to my colleague.”
