Here we see what happens when Democrats and Republicans finally get together for a cause; utter failure and humiliation. America, let this “Bobby Cocks” cake forever be a reminder that bipartisanship has no place in the U.S. Senate, and is in fact a terrible idea. From Jeff Schultz’s blog in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
(Bobby) Cox was being honored for his 50 years in baseball. Senators Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) hosted a ceremony, inviting the Braves’ manager, as well as players and officials. But the cake, which was to read, “Thanks for 50 great years Bobby Cox” had an unfortunate and profane misspelling of his last name.
But in typical congressional fashion, our leaders snapped into action and quickly edited the cake:
First rule in a coverup: Destroy the moist, delicious evidence. Anyway, according to Isakson’s spokesman, it was all the bakery’s fault.
“Bobby and the players came to the Hill and spoke at our staff meeting. Immediately after the staff meeting, he and players posed for pictures and signed baseballs for our staff members. The scheduler and I then went to the Capitol to get ready for the reception. The catering company had delivered the cake and we immediately realized his last name was spelled incorrectly. The only people who saw it were me, the scheduler and unfortunately some media members who had arrived early and took pictures. We immediately started cutting the cake.”
Only one question remains: How was Bobby Cocks never a Sopranos character?
