Rep. Patrick McHenry waxes inspirational about the House of Representatives:

"This place is a much more sophisticated junior high school," 30-year-old Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., said recently in an interview. "There are the nice guys that everybody likes, the jocks, the geeks, the bullies - they're all here. It's a representative democracy."
...
At a White House lunch for new members, President Bush teased McHenry about his boyish appearance despite his prematurely graying hair. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., a former high school wrestling coach, put him in a playful headlock after a conference of House Republicans.
"A playful headlock"? Hastert's like 8'4", 630 lbs. I mean him no offense, but let's be honest: there's no such thing as a "playful" headlock from a man that size.
