I was over in the south house gallery sitting behind the solid row of reporters and I noticed a couple of things. First of all, there isn’t any dress standard for reporters up here. The outfit types ranged from 90’s grunge from an unnamed (to protect his identity, I mean, the grunge thing was so long ago) to KCPW’s classy Julie Rose looking like she just left a fancy wedding.

Secondly, and more telling, was that from the south gallery, you can see an awful lot of laptop screens belonging to the representatives. Now, the south gallery looks exclusively over the shoulders of Republican Representatives. I saw Reps looking through the pages of the Drudge Report, looking at different pages of fox news and one Rep looking at movies on YouTube. It looked like Hentai, but it was probably Anime. I really hope it was Anime. Really.
