Freshly minted Minnesota Senator Al Franken may have edged out Norm Coleman by the hair on his chinny chin chin ... but it's his nose this baby couldn't resist at Reagan Int'l Airport.

It's hard to tell if little Katie already has a distaste for Democrats ... or if she finds Sen. Franken simply irresistible.

Senator Charles Schumer (D, NY) is on a one man maple syrup crusade -- indirectly waging war on Vermont because he believes the sugary sap from his state is better than anywhere else.

Schumer fired off a letter to the CEO of IHOP, pleading for the restaurants in his state to serve maple syrup from New York with their Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruities -- an idea he got from the good people of VT.
As for his scientific evidence behind the claim that syrup in the Empire State rules supreme: "It's more mapley than any other."
UPDATE: It's about to get sticky because Senator Patrick Leahy (D, VT) just gave TMZ this statement--
"If Senator Schumer can convince restaurants in his state to use New York syrup, more power to him. Just so long as they're ready to lose market share to restaurants that use the real thing from Vermont."

With banks so unstable, where's the safest place to put your money? We buttonholed six members of Congress at Reagan National Airport in D.C. -- Reps Dennis Kucinich, Sheila Jackson-Lee, John Lewis, Jason Chaffetz, John Yarmuth, and Senator John Thune. The question: Which is safer -- Sealy or Tempur-Pedic?

Looking to get re-elected, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry was snap-happy Saturday night on Nantucket. Electoral college girls gone wild!

The married 64-year-old had his photo taken with Bud Light drinking constituents who, we are told, are college sophomores and juniors. One was drinking from a penis straw.
We were told Kerry was partying with them, but his office released this statement:
"As Sen. Kerry and two friends left dinner at the Straight Warf restaurant on Nantucket and walked down the dock, a large group on a boat recognized Senator Kerry and asked if they could have a photo taken. The group came off the boat and onto the dock, took a photo with Sen. Kerry and his friends, and then Sen. Kerry and his two friends immediately walked away. End of story."

Not to be outdone by Senator Obama's hip Hollywood fundraiser on August 9, Sen. Hillary Clinton will be hosting a fundraiser at West Hollywood hotspot, The Abbey -- very popular with the gay and lesbian community.You go, girl!

The Democratic candidates will be in town for the Human Rights Campaign's Presidential Forum on GLBT issues. Do ask, do tell!
In contrast to Obama's $250 per ticket, Hills' will cost just $50 per person for general admisson -- such a bargain! But the VIP reception will set Clintonites back $1000! Get out your best blue dresses!
