Yesterday, some publicity seeking protesters with naked ambition briefly occupied the ante-chamber to House Speaker John Boehner's office.
WARNING the video exposes the naked truth from this "happening". It is not for the faint hearted or those offended by public nudity.
Former Majority Whip Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY) quipped "If you are naked, you're without clothes. If you are nekkid, you're also without clothes but you're up to something." Aside from generating some titillating news pegs, it is unclear what these demonstrators are really seeking to do.
Presumably, they are agitating over sequestration (a.k.a. the fiscal cliff) during the 112th Congress' Lame Duck session, but that is a 10% across the board spending reduction. So is their plan to not cut discretionary domestic to make the greenback as worthless as Monopoly money or to follow a donkey plan to extract all savings at the expense of the Pentagon?
Maybe President Obama could show some leadership and offer a real plan to avoid the fiscal cliff, instead of remaining in the role of campaigner-in-chief for class warfare without offering any real solutions.
But then the protesters would have to move to Lafayette Park and it's pretty cold in the District of Calamity right now.
One thing is for sure is that these protesters are better bathed than the Occupy types who were permitted to take over McPherson Square last year.
