Senators Wish Domenici Would Bring Dog To Work More Often

WASHINGTON, DC—Members of the U.S. Senate wish that Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) would bring his sheepdog Luke to work more often, Beltway sources reported Monday. “It’s always so fun when we’re debating a piece of legislation, and Luke comes charging in and runs all around the senate floor saying hi to everybody,” Sen. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) said. “A couple weeks ago, I was right in the middle of a speech when he bowled me over and started licking my face.” Virtually every senator has encouraged Domenici to bring in Luke, with the notable exception of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), who is “so allergic to that thing, it’s not even funny.”
