Antiques Road show features Senator

Watching Antiques Road show the other day I was amazed to see a man in line pull a senator out of his pocket and ask the appraiser what he was worth. The appraiser was shocked, but told the gentleman that he had recently seen a senator in North Dakota sold to the health insurance lobby for 2.6 million dollars. The appraiser said the fair market price could even be higher if the senator could be guaranteed to vote against the public option. Democratic senators that would vote against their own party are worth way more the specialist said. After examining the senator the appraiser said the senator would be worthless after the next election so the inquirer would do well to sell him now for what ever he could get.
