from the hill:
Anyone who has worked in the Capitol Building for more than a couple of years knows the heart-dropping feeling of seeing dozens of members of Congress running toward the street at full speed.she was on my plane from DC to cincinnati once, wearing a sailor's outfit and a trademark scrunchie. she was also on my committee, arrived in the middle of a hearing during testimony, and propped her hosiery-clad feet up on the seat next to her in the front row.
More than a couple of House aides reported the frightening scene around lunchtime Friday, and the subsequent urge to scan the sky for signs of danger.
Capitol Police officers, though, know well the other reason that members of Congress are likely to break into a sprint: It was the last vote of the week.
In the midst of the chaos, onlookers reported that Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) was left standing in the middle of the street, cell phone in hand, no airport-headed car to be seen.
They said that a frantic Schmidt was bellowing into her phone, “WHERE ARE YOU? WE HAVE TO HURRY!”
Nearby, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) chastened her colleague with a reminder that the aide on the other end of the phone call wasn’t the only one listening.
“Jean, you have to quiet down — we are in public,” two strolling aides overheard Ros-Lehtinen say.
...
An SUV bearing Ohio plates did eventually rescue Schmidt, by the way, but her office did not respond to inquiries yesterday as to whether she made her flight.
eww.
