Washington (CNN) – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday she plans to sit with Republican Congressman Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland during the State of the Union address, not House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, who had invited her to sit with him.

Cantor will instead sit with a Democratic colleague from Virginia, according to spokesman Brad Dayspring.

“Minority Leader Pelosi declined Eric’s offer, which would have resulted in the two party leaders sitting together,” Dayspring said. “Eric will be sitting at the traditional spot on the House floor reserved for the Majority Leader and will be joined by Rep. Bobby Scott, his friend and colleague from Richmond.”

Pelosi, who announced her State of the Union bipartisan partner in a tweet, had asked Bartlett Monday to sit next to her, before Cantor's invitation, according to a Pelosi aide.

1. Did ya hear Nancy told Eric she wouldn't go the prom with him?

No way!

Way! Like, she said, Dude, sorry, I'm going with Roscoe, and Eric was all, like, pissed off, and he said he'd go hang with Bobby. But Nancy like totally pablo'd him, so I think him an' Bobby are just gonna go to Eric's place. Eric got a new Playstation.

That's lame.

Yeah. Eric and Bobby are lame.

3. Dana Bash: the popular, mean-girl friend of little Eric Cantor.

Guess they're not intending to escalate the level of maturity, either.

I'm beginning to think those crappy shows on MTV set the standard for behavior in Washington.

4. At last! A topic worthy of the great journalists of our time

I saw a note that Nancy passed in study hall that said she thought Eric had cooties! Is this the smoking gun?

Damn, these tiny people can't be budged for torture, corruption, malfeasance or crimes against humanity, but somebody won't sit with somebody else? They're on it like white on rice!
