Grand Ole Opry Used In Argument On Floor Of United States Senate

This made me smile

Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tn.) on Thursday joined Senate Republicans in a colloquy on the floor of the Senate to address the “Senate’s Democratic leadership for not producing a budget or considering appropriations bills.” Senator Alexander said coming “to the Senate and not being allowed to vote on appropriations bills is like being invited to join the Grand Ole Opry and not being allowed to sing.”

Alexander knows a thing or two about music, and the famed Grand Ole Opry.
