A Virginia lawmaker’s hopes for a romantic evening with his wife were dashed after his name came up during a debate about the controversial state bill that would have required women to undergo an ultrasound before obtaining an abortion — some via vaginal probe.
Del. David Albo (R-Fairfax) recounted for his colleagues his swing-and-a-miss attempt at some intimacy in surprisingly straightforward terms on the state House floor Friday.
Following a contentious debate with his colleagues Tuesday, Albo explained, he was eager to get home to his family and his big “46-inch screen” TV.
“I thought, ‘Wow, the boy’s to bed, the wife’s here…” Albo said with a wink and a thumbs-up. “We have some red wine…”
That’s when, speaking to his colleagues, he turned on some distinct mood music to play in the background while continuing his story.
The next step in his seduction plan, he told them, was to find the Washington Redskins on TV — “I know you find that weird, but my wife loves the Redskins more than she loves me,” Albo said.
But what should happen while he was flipping channels but to stumble upon a discussion on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” about the ultrasound bill, with his own name mentioned prominently. According to the Washington Post, Albo was one of the Republicans who attempted to forge a compromise by making the procedure optional.
After his name, there was “the gentleman from Alexandria’s face” — Albo’s Democratic colleague Del. David Englin discussing his opposition to the bill — “as big as my wall, going trans-v this, and trans-v that!…And this goes on and on!”
“The show’s over, and [my wife] looks at me and says, ‘I have to go to bed,’” Albo said to laughter.
He directed his next comments directly to Englin.
“So if the gentleman’s plan was to make sure there was one less Republican in this world, he did,” Albo said. “I expect an apology from you later in person on the House floor.”
According to the Post, Englin took the floor next and did apologize for interfering in Albo’s night, though he suggested Albo make better use of the remote control next time.

Posted on February 25, 2012 at 8:34pmActually, we CAN get what we want, Mr Cosmodrome. You pot-smoking, hippies-at-Hillel have had your day, and now that you have been in the limelight long enough for us fat, diabetic, American rednecks to have gotten a real good look at just what EXACTLY you are and what you REALLY think about goyim like us, we can finally be free of YOU. That means no more of our tax money going to fund the murder of unborn, goy babies, and no more of our tax money going to fund University Professors who only spread the hatred and lies necessary to “deconstruct” the institutions of the goyim, and no more of our tax money going to pay for FOREIGN residents to come here to the USA and fill University seats, and get University degrees on the United States taxpayers’ dime, and no more of our tax money going to fund our ENEMIES in RUSSIA and their ridiculous space program, and no more of “MY KIND’s“ tax money being paid for ”YOUR KIND’s” filthy, racist doctrines born of a belief that G-d loves only “YOUR KIND” and that G-d put “MY KIND” here to be “YOUR KIND’s” chattle.

If I am trying to set the mood, the last thing on my mind is the t.v. And if you really want to throw ice on it, just tune-in to Maddcow.
The floor is not the place to be airing out personal problems. The amount of self serving whining that goes on up there nowadays is embarrassing at times.
