Claire McCaskill has been Tweeting on Twitter about all the snow DC has received the last few days, in the largest blizzard to strike the Capital since The Great Depression. That’s, incidentally, despite the fact members of the Kennedy Family have been claiming for years that Anthropogenic Global Warming was supposed to guarantee Washington, D.C. never had another inch of snowfall ever again. Three feet of snow is a whole lot of inches.

More than any of the Kennedy men could boast, we’re quite sure.

Claire Bear is fascinated by snow, though. Hence her tweets.

“There was big trucks that came in, and they were yellow trucks.  Oh, they was big!  They were like the trucks I like to play with in my office.  Tonka trucks.  The lady who sits outside the office and frowns at me all the time bought them for me for Christmas, and I said thank you to her for them because they are great.  The desk they gave me is so fancy that the lady says I can’t spill any of my grape juice on it, so I drink from a sippy cup and sit on the floor most of the time and I pretend under the desk is a cave and all the trucks are coming in to dig out the diamonds.  Then I send the trucks to take the diamonds to New York where my friend Caroline will make them into necklaces and crowns, ’cause she’s a princess.  I’m not a princess, but I’m a Senator.  Caroline’s a princess who wanted to be a Senator, so if that happened then maybe I could have been the princess.  Then, instead of a diamond cave, I would pretend there was a dragon under my desk, and I would be roaring and roaring playing dragon, and that lady would come in and tell me again to be quiet because she never lets me have any fun”.

“Senator, my name is Jane, and I’m your Chief of Staff, not ‘some lady’.  And, no, you shouldn’t be rolling on the floor ‘roaring’ while ‘playing dragon’, as you call it. And I didn’t buy you any Tonka trucks.  Those were for the Marines’ Toys for Tots donation, but just like every year, you came into the office and thought all of the toys your staff donated were for you, because you are as selfish as you are thoughtless.  Frankly, you’re a complete disgrace to the people of Missouri who sent you here to Washington to do the work of the people, not play with toys on the floor or Tweet on Twitter about how much snow is outside.  You are much, much worse than a small child, because you actually have a vote on dangerous legislation, and you’ll give that vote to whomever awards you the most sandwiches.”

“I really like sandwiches, Lady.  They taste good.  Wherever sandwiches come from, they should send them on big yellow trucks to me.  I don’t know where to put all that darn snow that is am outside, but I know where to put the sandwiches.  In my tummy!  Is today sandwich day, lady?”

“Every day is sandwich day in your office, Senator.  At least until 2012 that is.”
