Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) Steals Show

[wyldwolf]

Sen. Amy Klobuchar's (D-MN) "surprisingly caustic humor elicited belly laughs from much of the Washington press corps Wednesday night at the Washington Press Club Foundation's Annual Congressional Dinner," according to The Hill.

A sample of her material:

"I really, really, really have a very simple goal, and that is to keep it as short as Bill Richardson's tenure as Commerce Secretary."

"I raised $17,000 from ex-boyfriends -- true story! I know that is the record in the Senate, but in the house it's held by Barney Frank."

"John Edwards is still talking about two Americas -- that was the greatest pickup line in history."

"Typically a Republican and a Democrat speak at this -- you could have saved a lot of money by asking Joe Lieberman."

Politico: "She may have even been too funny. One line -- that her position as a member of the subcommittee on oceans from Minnesota was as incongruous as an ethics committee member from Illinois -- led an audience wag to crack that, 'she may be on the committee on oceans for a long time.'"
