learned that 1st district Congressman Jay Inslee had voted with Speaker
Nancy Pelosi 99 percent of the time, I was reminded of an old joke.
So I adapted the joke:
Congressman Inslee is on the phone speaking to talking to Speaker
Pelosi. We can hear his side of the conversation, which goes like this:
"Yes, Madame Speaker."
"Of course, Madame Speaker."
"Certainly, Madame Speaker."
"Yes, Madame Speaker."
And finally, "No, Madame Speaker."
A curious reporter — and there are a few — can't resist after
overhearing this, and so he approaches Congressman Inslee and says:
"Excuse me congressman, I couldn't help overhearing you talking to
Speaker Pelosi. Do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"No, go ahead," says Inslee.
The reporter asks, "Would you mind telling us what Speaker Pelosi asked
you in that last question?"
"Not at all," replies Inslee. "She asked me if there was anything on
which I disagreed with her."

(If you live elsewhere, feel free to adapt this joke. For example,
Pennsylvanians can use it for Senate candidate Joe Sestak, just by
changing the name, and the 99 to 98.
If you want to check your own congressman or senator, you can do so at
OpenCongress.)
