Win Jack Kingston’s Nuts Onions

During the Rayburn craziness, we highlighted the blog of staffers and interns to Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA). They liveblogged last Friday’s insanity, from the belly of the beast.

Their fine work continues. Check out this video of “Win Jack Kingston’s Onions,” a trivia face-off between actor Ben Stein — of “Bueller, Bueller” fame — and Rep. Vern Ehlers (R-MI), who claims the dubious distinction of being “The Smartest Congressman Ever.” The prize? Vidalia onions, a product of Kingston’s Georgia district.

Here’s a teaser: in the video, you’ll hear Ben Stein’s answer — not the expected response, but correct nonetheless — to the question: “What do Jack Abramoff and Monica Lewinsky have in common?”

Douchebaggery caught on film. Here we have a boss trying to be funny, a D List celebrity known for a bit part from the 1980's (Mr. Rooney is cooler than this guy and he got caught with child pornography), a bunch of loserish Congressional staffers faking amusement; it is sad. Please no more of this garbage.

that lauren chick is kinda cute. i wonder if she dates democrats.

Matthew:

Don't be slammin' my man Ben. Even if he is a Republican, he's got more brains and talent than most of us do, put together. To prove my point, I cite "Win Ben Stein's Money", the best game show ever on Comedy Central.

I was thinking "they've both blown a presidency."

I won't bother watching the video, but "they both fuck politicians" sounds apropos.
