Excuse me, Rep. Fallin, clue line calling...it's for you
I wonder if Representative Fallin knows that Pat owned a house in DC with another man... I also wonder if she knew his North Carolina home was a hostel for young men...
McHenry: Falling for Fallin?

Members of Congress waiting to be released for holiday recess can be such a rough crowd.
Late last week, lawmakers in the Cloak Room off the House floor were giving Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) a hard time, spreading the rumor that the unattached young lawmaker was engaged to Rep. Mary Fallin (R-Okla.). While their conservative roots match up, the pair is not engaged and not dating (at least not yet).
“Shhh … keep it a secret,” McHenry joked.
After explaining that the rumor started because both lawmakers are single, he added, “I would be honored. It would improve my reputation and probably do the opposite for hers.”
“Well, that’s pretty funny,” Fallin said, laughing. “There’s a slight problem. He’s much, much younger than me. He’s 32, no? And I’m in my 50s. He’s a sweet man. I don’t think it’s going to happen. I think it was boredom in the Cloak Room.”
