Who copy edited the program for tonight’s Washington Press Club Foundation dinner? Maybe it was the same person who copy edited the program for Ed Koch’s funeral<\/a>. Jason Chaffetz represents Utah, not New Mexico, but at this point, what difference does it make?<\/p>\n\n\n

Chaffetz, with Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, was on hand to speak to the press, many of whom viewed the dinner as prom night.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ready for it? Congress prom is tonight! Chaffetz, Heitkamp, @majorcbs<\/a>. Follow along at #wpcfdinner<\/a><\/p>\n

69th Annual Congressional Dinner; yearly prom for reporters and Congress. Reporters invite congressmen as their “dates.” #wpcfdinner<\/a><\/p>\n

With so many reporters in the same room, imagine the secrets we’ll learn about Washington’s inner workings.<\/p>\n\n\n

Something I learned at #wpcfdinner<\/a>: lawmakers who live\/sleep in offices walk halls of bldg in pajamas at 3am and play video games together<\/p>\n

Lot of droning going on at this #wpcfdinner<\/a><\/p>\n

Update: With the help of Heitkamp, Chaffetz left little doubt that he’s from Utah by engaging in some Mormon humor.<\/p>\n\n\n

Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s wife cracking up as Heitkamp asks if it’s “cozy” sleeping in his office with Donnie and Marie Osmond posters.<\/p>\n

— jennifer bendery (@jbendery) February 7, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

But Chaffetz gets in an awesome joke. Says they wanted to save money on alcohol by inviting him, jokes: Is the senator from Idaho here?<\/p>\n

— Patricia Zengerle (@ReutersZengerle) February 7, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

MT @reuterszengerle<\/a>: Chaffetz, a Mormon, also jokes that he brought his wife, his “only wife.” #wpcfdinner<\/a><\/p>\n

— Christina Bellantoni (@cbellantoni) February 7, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

.@jasoninthehouse<\/a>: “I don’t know why the approval rating for Congress is so bad – we haven’t done anything!” #wpcfdinner<\/a><\/p>\n

— Christina Bellantoni (@cbellantoni) February 7, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

.@jasoninthehouse<\/a> quips he’s diverse choice in GOP: “With a name like Chaffetz that’s almost like being Hispanic.”<\/p>\n

— Christina Bellantoni (@cbellantoni) February 7, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

You guys, Rep. Chaffetz has been talking for 5 min and he’s already made jokes about polygamy, drinking, GOP catering to minorities. Win.<\/p>\n
