Fresh meat: Teabaggers eager to teabag 90+ freshmen House members
GOP and Tea Party Groups to Vie for Freshmen House Members

by Chad Pergram | November 13, 2010



More than 90 freshmen House members descend on Washington Sunday for freshmen orientation.

It’s kind of like move-in day at college. Minus the plastic milk crates swiped from the local dairy. And meeting the weird roommate they paired you with who never removes his earbuds.

Welcome to Congress, freshmen. You’re on your own now. Hope mom and dad left you some beer money.

For the next six days, the House Administration Committee conducts New Member Orientation. It’s where the new lawmakers learn how to be lawmakers. They’ll get schooling in parliamentary procedure, hear about setting up their Congressional offices, receive briefings on security and learn about House ethics.

Plus, there are requisite mixers with fellow freshmen and, depending on your party, dinners with top leaders like presumptive House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), incoming-Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) and soon-to-be Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD).

2. Sarah Palin sent the freshmen her words of "wisdom"
The delusional dingbat from Wasilla has given them their marching orders via her facebook ghost-writer.

This is a great read:
