Congressman Gasbag Honored
by
George Fleming
12/15/1998
It
was a gala event as Congressman Charles "Chuck" Gasbag was
honored at an invitation-only steak dinner. This was the official
ceremony celebrating the Congressman's re-election.
"We
did it our way," commented Gasbag. He was referring to his
"go get Çem campaign" that carried a $30 million price tag.
At the star-studded event, Gasbag was hailed as a "Man of
the people" and a "Champion of the little guy."
Earlier in the day, the congressman took an aerial tour of
the bombed-out cities and ravaged ghettos that comprise much
of his district. "Seeing this by helicopter provides me with
the big picture. I feel it is a much more effective way of
surveying the problem than actually meeting with constituents
at ground level."
The
bird's eye view enabled the congressman to pinpoint the exact
locations of two new "Enterprise Zones" and one toxic waste
dump. "I'm providing boot straps for the people," quipped
Gasbag as he was whisked away in his limousine.
The evening unfolded with a top-notch shindig at the estate
of a prominent industrialist who happened to one of Gasbag's
major campaign contributors. The guest list read like a Who's
Who of entertainers, politicians, and super models. The congressman
beamed throughout the gathering with his wife Perky at his
side.
A
gourmet menu of entrees included prime rib, mandarin duck,
moose wellington, free range truffles, and baby potatoes.
Vintage wines were in abundance along with rare caviars. Most
notable was a "Glockenspiel Ç49" which was enjoyed by all.
Dessert featured cherries jubilee and lobster cheesecake.
The party lasted into the wee hours at which time the congressman
was hospitalized with indigestion. "Tell Perky I'll Be OK,"
exclaimed Gasbag as he was helped from the ambulance.
He is reportedly resting comfortably and will return to Washington
in the near future to continue the "people's work."
