Randy gains knowledge while floating down the river
For the second time this week, Randy Kuhl’s trip to Brazil is the topic of conversation for Al Kamen’s Inside the Loop, in a section titled,”In Relentless Pursuit of Facts”:

Keeping up with the Engel Codel. Rep. Eliot Engel’s hardy band of 10 fact-seekers was in Brasilia yesterday, meeting with lawmakers, getting ready for an arduous float up the Amazon today as their journey winds up. (They’ve already been to Rio and Iguazu Falls.) The other members of the delegation led by Engel (D-N.Y.) are, according to a Brazilian parliament list forwarded by reporter Jo¿o Carlos Teixeira to our colleague Mike Shepard: Reps. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Tex.), Randy Kuhl (R-N.Y.), Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), Randy Neugebauer (R-Tex.) and John Salazar (D-Colo.). Though he’s not on the official list, the office of Rep. Clifford Stearns (R-Fla.) says he’s there, too.
So if you haven’t seen those folks in their districts this week, that’s because they’re out working for you.
That’s right everybody. A fact finding mission. How could we have thought anything else?
I’m sorry Randy, you’ve still got some ’splainin to do as far as we can see. Tell us once again why you are there, instead of here, on our dime. And this time, try to loose the condescending tone.
