THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKENTonight on LARRY KING LIVE, the Skinny White Guy will give us an inside look at what's going on behind the scenes after the election.
"What's really happening in Washington?" Larry asked. "Was Speaker Hastert really seen breathing into a paper bag Tuesday night?"
"The people have spoken," said the Skinny White Guy. "They can't be wrong. But the people they elect can sure as hell be. The last 50 years bears that out."
"You're the consummate Washington insider," Larry said. "What's going on behind the scenes? Are you staying involved?"
"You're the consummate Washington insider," Larry said. "What's going on behind the scenes? Are you staying involved?"
"I always stay involved," the Skinny White Guy said. "You know me, I love people. And I love my country."
"What comes next?" asked Larry, taking a huge bite of a corned beef sandwich when the camera panned away.
"Soon to be Speaker Pelosi and her counterpart future Senate Majority Leader Reid are hard at work. I visited her the other day. She was very cordial."
"It's a time for healing," she said. "Divisiveness or mead-spiritedness are things of the past. We'll have a kinder, gentler Legislative Branch."
The first order of business is the reallocation of office space.

"Take it down to the plaster," she said. "I don't want any Republican cooties in here."
"I found this on the floor," the Senate Majority Leader said. "It looks like a suicide note."
The former Speaker was assigned new office space by the Democrats.
"At least you have a lot of windows," the Skinny White Guy said. "And plenty of places to sit down."
The Democratic Leadership held their first press conference in the Speaker's new suite of offices.
"Civility and respect have been resurrected in the Congress," she said. "The culture of mean spiritedness has been replaced with one of kindness."
MEANWHILE

"The paper shortage has been a real problem," he said. "The House Budget Committee Chairman has stonewalled our efforts to fix it. Then there is the problem with the fan."
