WASHINGTON D.C– Senators were amazed to see a green curtain in the Senate Chamber on Monday after returning to work from the weekend.
This comes on the same day Mitch Mcconnell returns from his 3-month hiatus due to his increasingly apparent health issues.
“This is so exciting!” exclaims Louisiana republican senator John Kennedy, looking marvelously at the emerald, 35 foot curtain extending from the ceiling to the floor.” It really brings a sense of youth and vitality to the Chamber. For years this place needed a remodeling”.
Mcconnell himself was the first to publicly address the senate on the mysterious new fabric. “This beautiful curtain is an example of the vibrant, dynamic energy of our senate” states McConnell- staggering on his speech. “However, only members of congress will go behind the curtain”. Congress is in recess till after the midterms, This order brings intrigue to the upper house. The curtain is so out of placecausing speculation on what could be behind it. To others, the long overdue remodeling of the chamber is a representation of the promises the house will deliver the American public in light of the midterm elections.
Weirdly enough the curtain covered the door leading to offices of the staff and many reported Mitch McConnell’s top aid and chief of staff, Terry Carmack, exiting from behind the curtain on numerous occasions.
Senators left with more questions than answers after a long day in session. “If only I had a brain” smirks New Jersey senator Corey Booker as exits the capitol steps for the day.
