Retiring Congressman Pranks Dennis Kucinich, Sprints Down Hallway, and Even Plays 'Duck Hunt' -- And Here's the Whacky Video of It All
August 08, 2012
"What are five things you would like to do before you leave congress?"
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 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.
