The Most Dangerous Place on Capitol Hill? Between Michael McCaul's Hairdo and a Camera

(All photos house.gov)

Mike! I think we may have found our first male sparklefave heartthrob! I'm grateful to Pony Pal Congressional Spouse for pointing him and, more importantly, his magnificent hairdo out to me, every bit as wonderful as his penchant for weirdly coordinated outfits for his family. I totally think they're, like, the new WASP Texan Partridge Family and I think they're great.

Hunky, tanned Mike's house.gov site is a magical wonderland, because you go to the photo gallery, and you enjoy soooo many photos of dreamy Mike and his gorgeous hair and then at the bottom of the page it says more photos, and at the bottom of the next page, too, and the next! Yay! So many pictures! So totes crushable! I love the above photo even more because Governor Perry's similarly breathtaking coiffure demonstrates Texans' great committment to superior achievement in cosmetology.

There are so many great pictures that your heart will explode with desire. Here's another fave, showing lovely Mike and one of my favorite things ever, a giant novelty check:

I swear, I wish somebody would make a web site which was nothing but hundreds and hundreds of pictures of people posing with oversized novelty checks. That would rule. I swear that would be better than cute overload.

This next one has a tragic, heartbreaking banner made of sadness, but I chose to feature it here because you can see so clearly the congressman's zeal, his sheer delight in being photographed, something pretty apparent in all the shots.

SAY IT! SAY LIQUID EYELINER! The media-savvy, musky McCaul also knows that if you want to make your hairdo look even more impossibly lustrous, silky and bountiful, just get photographed with bald men:

Oh, you haven't seen the last of Michael McCaul on PSP, Pony Pals! I am officially declaring him to be The Lyle Waggoner (LINK NOT SAFE FOR WORK) of Capitol Hill.

I have such a treat for you! One lucky Pony Pal™ had her spouse totally, like, all elected to Congress 'n' stuff. Fun! Let's just call her... um... Pony Pal™ Congressional Spouse, OK? Anyway, she was at the pretend event shown above, as well as the real thing, and has this exciting eyewitness report to pass on:

I can tell you it is not much fun being a muzzled spouse. Sitting there in the House Gallery during the swearing in I saw so many metaphors defining the Ds from the Rs expressed in the way they dress their kids!!!! We could not have phones, cameras or anything. And I was just dying to snap the photo of the four little Von Trapp McCaul girls...dressed identically in red and black ball gowns. What was it with the Republicans dressing their daughters in ballgowns on the floor of the House???? It was like they could not wrap their heads around a business attire atmosphere. And LOTs of them wearing identical stuff. But the impact of the four daughters of Texas Rep. Michael McCaul's girls in their billowing red taffeta skirts & black velveteen tops (how much more predictable can you GET?) surrounding their poor little brother in some kind of Lord Fauntleroy getup was ...well...a statement. Oh...and he marched them onto the floor from tallest to shortest ...or was it the other way around?

And, indeed, the creepy McCaul does have a thing for the matching outfits on his kids. Here he is in 2005 (AP Photo):

But not all was creepy or off-putting:

Oh..yeah...some wonderful power suits on the floor worn by the female reps...interesting cuts and and colors. Some were altogether too predictable. But some were truly fabulous. What fun to sit up there and observe the action, but SO frustrating not to have a camera or even a phone for messaging to friends.

I can imagine. The shoes alone must have made the trip worth it!

I don't know about you, but I'm super-excited by this report from Pony Pal Congressional Spouse and look forward to more in the future!
