Nancy Pelosi Says No to Date Night SOTU with Eric Cantor, She Already has One
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) slipped Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) a note in study hall asking if she would be his date to the State of the Union address. However, the former House Speaker said no and stated she’s already had a date. It was true heartache for Eric Cantor being rejected by little Nancy.
The invitation from Cantor was made Monday evening through staffers for the two leaders, spokesman Brad Dayspring said.
The pairing would have been among the more high-profile for an event that has in recent days been compared to a school dance, as lawmakers scurry to find cross-party seatmates for the president’s annual address. Instead of the traditional party-line seating arrangement, dozens of members have planned to sit with lawmakers from the other party as a symbol of renewed civility.
BTW, no Weasel Zippers you are not the only one that finds the “date night” SOTU a total irritating bunch of BS. It is not important are mean anything who you symbolically sit next to an a faux image of unity … IT MATTERS WHAT ONE STANDS FOR NOT WH YOU SIT NEXT TO!!!

There is nothing so small that can’t be seen as outrageous.
Is there any contradiction with “It is not important are mean anything who you symbolically sit next to an a faux image of unity” and the premise of this article?

SM: You need an explanation, really? We are way beyond symbolism. I need my politicians to stand for something, not sit next to each other and sing camp fire songs. Like they all just looked so comfortable sitting next to one another … LOOKED LIKE THE BLIND DATES FROM HELL!!!

this just shows that Pelosi has no interest in bipartisanship. everything she said to Greta in the interview last night was a blatant lie.
sm – I take you at your word, that symbolism of “date night” means nothing. However, with that being the case, I don’t understand what the first three paragraphs of this article means. It appears to the average person as a complaint against “little” Pelosi for not sitting with Cantor.
I won’t deny the right to any opinion in these matters; I just don’t understand two apparently simultaneous opposing opinions.
p.s. – is there something wrong if our elected Congressional Representatives look “comfortable sitting next to one another”? I thought polls show Americans want them to work together to solve our problems.
