A small bird entered the Senate Radio-TV Gallery today. No, not the Democratic senator from West Virginia. A real bird.
Evidently, it must be fairly common for birds to fly into the U.S.Capitol, which would explain the photographer being able to get his hands on that large net so quickly.
Don't know at this writing what happened to the bird, which appeared to evade capture initially. If the bird stayed around until a senatorial press conference started, it could have stayed aloft for hours on all the hot air in that room.
Watch the CNN report on the wayward warbler below:

That must be our compassionate conservative, John D. The wittle birdy came to tell him his World Wildlife Fund membership is due. Oh and Osama Bin Laden says hello.

Bird Lady,
That was hilarious and probably true!

Brave reporter. I'd be afraid that Deadeye Dick Cheney would come out with his trusty shotgun and I'd end up with a face full of pellets when he missed.

Oh Bird Lady, er John E., you are a hoot. Fact is I give more to the World Wildlife Fund than mummy and daddy give you in allowance when you clean their basement. You see I have a job, and because of President Bush my career has taken off to heights unimaginable under any Demoncrat. Nothing short of a Depression and total economic meltdown would make your ilk happy. Lefty Loons, truly the worst mankind has to offer.

At least its a more intellgent bird than the usual one that is in the Senate. The bird probably was not a former KKK member either.

...and if you set something free that you love, but it doesn't love you but you prove to it you are not a passive aggressive prick it might return to your previous life in the form of a kitty that hates your guts,,,whatever.
