| Description | "Vince Gray and Eleanor Holmes Norton held a press conference in front of the Capitol today to urge the Senate to pass a bill to fund the District during the government shutdown. When his own press conference ended, though, Gray had an idea—why not make it two?
So the mayor and Norton, followed by their entourages and reporters, crashed a nearby press conference held by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other Democrats. Gray took a spot next to Reid; Shadow Sen. Paul Strauss, also at the earlier press conference, stood next to his would-be Senate colleagues.
As Gray made his case to Reid, Reid responded, "Don't screw this up," according to the Post. Reid declined to say what he meant.
LL has a guess, though. At his own press conference before he crashed Reid's, Gray had stood next to Republican Rep. Darrell Issa as he criticized the Democratic-led Senate for holding up the District spending bill, which has already passed the House.
"Every worker and every citizen of the District of Columbia needs to be counted as essential," Issa said." |
