Nothing surprises me with these policitians anymore.

THIS IS PRICELESS!!! Besides the people playing solitaire it looks like the others are surfing the net and not paying any attention at all! Hmmm...now I am beginning to worry a bit more!

Yep those are our hard working elected officials.  Scary isn't it?

Hi Pat... this would be hysterically funny if it wasn't true.  I suspect the people playing solitaire already had their minds made up... like many Americans.

That was a great photo.  It was the Connecticut legislature in that photo not the the Congress of the US.  Could well have been though...

According to Michell Malkin, a Connecticut House Democrat spokesman sent the following statement to Fox News Channel regarding this:

"Our members have discussed and debated the state budget for seven months, culminating in yesterday's marathon, 13 hour budget session. With little new ground being broken, and the results of the upcoming vote a reasonable certainty, a momentary diversion is understandable. Both representatives insist there was no intent to disrespect the minority leader during his presentation."

It WAS disrespectful you bunch of !@##$(#(&% and if you don't realize that, then GET THE HECK OUT OF PUBLIC SERVICE!!

GOTTA love government folk...wow...

I'm glad to see the CT lawmakers are EXCEPTIONAL at multi-tasking, it gives me renewed hope that they can handle the complexities of creating and amending laws!  If I am banned from using my cell phone or laptop in a doctor's office, one would think that perhaps the same thing should apply if you gather 50-100 lawmakers in a room who are trying to craft legislation.  I can't wait to see what the next generation (coined digital natives) will be like when they grow up.

How many times have I been to a boring meeting with my laptop shopping for shoes????  in my old business (Insurance Broker) the CE's were free, you just had to show up and sign in and out.  What a great time to shop, or catch up on emails.

Very nice - that's a great picture and perfect caption

Posted by Bill Wallace (RE/MAX Results - Rosemount, MN) 22 days ago

Love the picture and love the caption.  Don't love the implications.  These are the people we place out trust in?

Posted by Lora "Leah" Stern, Realtor Rockland County Real Estate (Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage) 22 days ago

Great picture, This one is worth thousands of words. I wonder what their constituents think?

Posted by Michael Bergin, Northern Virginia Real Estate (Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage - ABR - SRES ) 22 days ago

Eye opening. This is pathetic. Solitaire.

Patricia, That is just hysterically funny.....you have to wonder though. If they are twitttering during the State of the Union address, why wouldn't they be playing solitaire?!! Too funny!

Posted by Jane Cross (Homes By Cross, inc.) 21 days ago

I hate to see it and say it, but I suppose that is a real photo? At least it seems nobody was at a porn site.

And you said that politicians aren't hard working people who don't deserve what they are paid- Shame on you guys-LMAO. Great post Pat.
