BUCKLE. UP. Burchett takes us on a ride (wait for Burchett to get the size of Rick, a homeless man (…so he can buy him a warm Carhart jacket…) who protests regularly at the Capitol. “You’re upscale homeless,” Burchett tells him after crossing an intersection to chat with him about an orange(ish) tree on the Capitol grounds. “He’s progressively homeless!”).
Matt Laslo’s a veteran congressional correspondent, new media prof. & founder of Ask a Pol — a new, people-powered press corps, asking your lawmakers your questions at your US Capitol.@Ask_a_Pol (or @askpols).
FULLER BURCHETT joshing with the media and such. Starts with discussion of how he’ll vote on Santos expulsion, etc.
