Lawmaker Roommates

This has to be one of the most amusing articles I've ever read in the NYT. Four big time Democratic lawmakers sharing a dive of an apartment, but having a good time doing it. If I ever become a senator, that's how I want to live. Sounds a lot like the old apartment on Cherry St, minus the big parties.

Absolutely classic is the last paragraph:

The roommates then repaired to couches to watch Florida-Ohio State and to stuff their faces with Sichuan beef and kung pao chicken. Mr. Durbin began talking about meetings he had last month with the presidents of Bolivia and Ecuador on a Congressional delegation to Latin America. Then he and Mr. Schumer started arguing about Mr. Schumer’s refusal to make his bed.
