The Preferred Seating Arrangement for tonight

[Dappleganger]

Each senator and representative should sit with their corresponding corporate lobbyist.

There really is no other seating arrangement which makes more sense.

1. It makes perfect sense. n/t

[xchrom]

2. Indeed. Nt

3. Well, I would think that

in order to have enough seats, perhaps the sens and reps should sit in the laps of their corporate lobbyists. That would be far more realistic, also.

However, I would strongly dissuade lap-dancing as it would not be at all appropriate for the occasion. Could the repugs control themselves, though?

7. Laps are perfect...

they can't keep their hands to themselves so it won't be fit for national tv.

4. Excellent!

They'll need more chairs.

[Capitalocracy]

5. Not enough chairs.

There are far more corporate lobbyists than congresscritters.

Maybe the congressfolks could wait outside, and their lobbyists could just report back to them later. Since they're the ones who really legislate, I'm sure this would still be seen as fulfilling the president's constitutional duty to inform Congress on the state of the union.

6. They need to change the venue to, say, Nationals Park to seat all of them
