BUSINESS AS USUAL for Biden, Boehner and Pelosi at 114th Congress’ first session
The new Republican-led Congress’ first session of 2015 on
Tuesday was marked by the reelection of House Speaker John Boehner – and
several awkward moments that threw the Twitterverse into a tizzy.
Wonder what ‘god’ they are bowing their heads to this time?

Wonder who and what they are 'pledging' to
Let's face it - NOT to us or America

John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi just shared an embrace awkward enough for the next two years.
House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi handed the gavel over to Boehner during the
swearing-in ceremony on Capitol Hill.
Boehner leaned in for a brief kiss on the cheek, and Pelosi turned her head in a moment that some thought was as awkward as clumsy embraces between relatives during the holidays.
Plenty of people also commented on what they consider to be Boehner's orange glow.
Another maladroit kiss came when Vice President Joe Biden tried to give U.S. Senator Chris Coons’ young daughter a kiss on the head. But the little girl didn’t seem too comfortable and leaned away from Biden. This prompted New York Magazine to announce “Full Biden mode” was on display.

While posing for a group picture with children, Biden declared, “I like kids better than people.”
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham also attracted what some might consider dubious attention for giving Ernst a castration device for farm animals. It was displayed on a plaque with the engraving, "Make 'Em Squeal, Joni!" Gift for Sen. Ernst from @GrahamBlog - livestock castration device.
When are Americans going to
finally castrate Congress and the rest of the animals?
At one point, Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona had some fun on the floor, twirling around and striking a pose, showing off her dress.
SENATOR REID DISCUSSED OPENING OF 114TH CONGRESS https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ss0tzJuP6VM
America – Note that the middle finger he shows you seems to be working just
fine.
Reid is back to ‘business’ as
usual.
Democratic Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, surprisingly, did not show up for the event after injuring himself last week while exercising. He broke several ribs and bones in his face and suffered a concussion when a piece of gym equipment snapped, the Associated Press reported. Reid recorded a video wearing an eye patch saying that he regretted that he could not attend the day’s events and had been ordered by his doctor to stay at home. In the video, he joked that he had never been this badly injured, even during his younger days as a boxer. “I didn’t get this black eye by sparring with Manny [Pacquiao] or by challenging Floyd Mayweather,” he said. “I didn’t go bull-riding. I wasn’t riding a motorcycle.” http://news.yahoo.com/injuries-force-reid-skip-opening-session-senate-164028879.html
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky replaced Reid as the new
Senate majority leader.
