Jackie Speier and the errant paperclip
Nothing like getting upstaged by office supplies.
As boring as yesterday’s Shampeachment hearing was, it did afford a little comic relief thanks to Jackie Speier and the errant paperclip.
Here’s hoping Jackie doesn’t treat her staff the way Amy Klobuchar does. Because somebody would get a binder thrown at him for letting the boss appear on camera sporting a paper clip in her hair.
What the hell?
How do you get a paperclip in your hair?
Did she roll around in the supply closet?
No, that would be more Katie Hill’s speed.
Maybe Jackie fell asleep with her head on her desk.
Or perhaps she stuck it there on purpose just in case she needed to clip some paper during the hearing.
Granted, a paperclip in your hair isn’t as embarrassing as a booger sticking out of your nose or a strand of toilet paper stuck to your shoe. But it certainly is distracting.
I’m guessing folks watching Jackie question the “witnesses” didn’t hear a word she said. They were too busy staring at the errant paperclip.
Nothing like getting upstaged by office supplies.
If Speier had a sense of humor (and given the fact that she’s a Democrat, that’s a big If), she would show up at the next hearing with a Post-it stuck to her blouse.
Or she could just play along and announce that she’s hired the former Microsoft Paperclip Guy as her new chief of staff.
