I get to meet a lot of Capitol Staffers. Most are super nice, even if PinkDome has picked on or photoshopped their boss. Staffers are just about my favorite folks at the Capitol and I think we ought to pick a Best Staffer in some sort of contest. Who are your favorites? No doubt I love the folks in Rep. Casteel's office, Rep. Thompson's and Senator Shapleigh's office, but surprisingly the folks in Rep. Linda Harper-Brown's office are great folks, too.
All the ones that just say hello or keep me in the loop help the rest of y'all have something to read. So, let's thank them. Tell me who your favorites are in the comments and I'll send out some Tiff's Treats cookies to them.
Sure they do.
I'm down with Casteel's office. They rock!
Kevin in Dunnam's office - luv the suspenders, baby, yeah!
Liz in Anchia's office is the best! She deserves Tiff's year round.
Keffer the Great has some cool people in his office. And yeah, Kevin in Dunnam's office is pretty cool.
Basically, that 400 hallway in E2 of the extension - anyone down that row of people is pretty cool.
I like the Chief Clerk's office. April, Robert and Stephen rock!
Robert reads with such cadence and inflection. An inspiration to fast talkers everywhere.
I vote for Rep Thompson's office... they rock! And wonk is still an impotent arrogant a**hole!
Wonk, didn't you see he clearly says he's rich and hot?
Heather at McReynolds office is always great!
I'm down with Shapleigh staffers - pretty much everyone there is fun. Visit the office and let the sarcasm commence!
Wonk, did you go to school in Texas? I hope not - it would be an embarrasment to our teachers.
You work in the capitol to earn capital - learn it, you putz!
embarrasment = embarrassment
Sam and Marie are obviously well educated regarding Capitol staff.
Thanks for the cookies PinkDome.
doh! maybe I should apologize to Wonk.
That's not necessary.
Gotta agree with eatingmycake, Shapleigh's office is sharp...devishly good senses of humor and they can drink like champs...they've also got awesome legislating skills ;)
I love how Wonk has the vocabulary base of a 3rd grader... fat, stupid, dipsh*ts? very clever my friend
Melissa in Fred Brown’s office is extremely awesome, as is Gavin in Geren’s office and Eduardo (HOTTIE) in Shapleigh’s. Bob Hunter has some of the most loyal staffers you’ll ever meet, though that says as much about him as it does about them. Shout out to Alan (HOTTIE) in Carona’s office, too. Good people, all.
Actually, oh jeez, it can go either way. The Capitol is the building. The state capital, the city where the seat of government is located, has an a. Wonk wasn’t entirely correct, but he wasn’t wrong, either.
I didn't know it was going to be a 'hottie' list, but good to know. Maybe we should have a PD dating site!
Tammy in Strama's office has always been very friendly and helpful.
Of course there are lots of staffers we all like but what about the ones we think are annoying. Any takers on that one?
Bomb thrower, I have one. I fucking H-A-T-E that evil sow in Talton's office who is too fucking fat to walk and uses a "Rascal" to get around the Capitol. The bitch honks at school kids and takes up all the room in the elevator. Her cackling makes my ears bleed.
I agree Maria. She annoys the hell out of me. And as far as the 400 hallway is concerned--I can think of at least one person down there who is an outright pain in the ass. I would rather have a root-canal than deal with her.
On the Senate side--all of this talk about Shapleigh's staff--are we sure we are talking about the same people? I personally think the talent pool over there is a little shallow.
Mike Villarreal's staff is always good-humored and with the program. Love 'em. Not sure they send you any gossip Pinky darling, but not everyone spends their days thinking about you.
