Retiring Congressman Pranks Dennis Kucinich, Sprints Down Hallway, and Even Plays ‘Duck Hunt’ — And Here’s the Whacky Video of It All

Maybe it was the stress of being a Blue Dog Democrat over the last couple years, or maybe Congressman Dan Boren (D-OK) just wants to go back to Oklahoma. But whatever the reason, the retiring congressman decided to have the time of his life in a one-of-a-kind exit interview.
The Capitol Hill social site Cloture Club sat down with the congressman and asked the question- “What are five things you would like to do before you leave congress?” Mr Boren’s answer: Ding-Dong-Ditch fellow Rep. and one time Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.
The Congressman Knocks...
Kucinich ditched.
The interview then spiraled into a series of pranks for the congressman to get out of his system before he vacates his office. For example, Boren — who is a board member at the NRA — says in the video that “I hunt in my office all the time,” pulls out an iPad from his desk, and then plays the once-popular Nintendo Duck Hunt game. The congressman also punches every button in the elevator during votes, finally answers a constituent phone call, and races a reporter at full speed down the halls of the Rayburn Congressional Building.

Pay close attention to the term “Outgoing Congressman”. There’s been official notice, “No Blue Dog Democrats Allowed: posted with the Democrat Party, Think Tennessee‘s primary winner who isn’t supported and they’re trying to get the D taken from beside his name on the ballot! The Repubs will be watching to see if they can do it to us TEA PARTY people!

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 1:28pmFigures it would be those 5 instead of – Balance the budget, audit the fed, retire the debt, increase domestic energy production and eliminate earmarks.
I know it sounds like I’m being all “oooooh you’re no fun…” But if I was slacking off at my job making funny videos and there was dire work to be done at my employers business to save it – it would be no fun for me. Good riddance to this tool!

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 1:22pmAt least he was honest about his answer…… Notice, that none of the things he said or did had anything to do with “making our country better” and all about doing things to “entertain” himself….
Although, I must admit, I might have done the same thing… But I am not a congressman… He is…
