NOVEL DAIS SEATING ASSIGNMENTS ADOPTED TO REFLECT NON-PARTISANSHIP OF COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON – Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., and Ranking Member Susan Collins, R-Me., took their commitment to non-partisanship to an alternate plane Friday in announcing a new dais seating arrangement.
In a letter to fellow Committee members, Lieberman and Collins said that at future hearings, Democrats and Republicans would no longer be seated on opposite sides of the dais but would be seated next to each other in an alternating pattern.
Not since boy-girl-boy-girl has my image of proper seating arrangements been so completely shattered.
