[Nictuku]

45. That is 14..

Excluding the press (2 back of heads in lower left and lower right), there are 18 (assumed) congress critters in the photo op.

[Jmac2]

46. yes...

2 women and Lugar aren't listed. Must be a male name missing also, besides Lugar.

[ColbertWatcher]

57. LOL! I was looking for that!

I went to DayLife for the big pics and Yahoo! for the names, but they hadn't posted it yet!

LOL!

Thank you for posting that, now I have to go through everyone's posts and make sure I got everyone!

[kaiden]

44. Olympia Snowe is next to Rangel. But I give up on the other two women.

[Jmac2]

47. I think

the two other women are Mary Jo Kilroy of Ohio and Kathy Castor of Florida.

Someone with a better eye might be able to tell for sure:

[rvablue]

48. WHY? Do you feel a need to prove you're smarter than everyone?

Otherwise there is ZERO utility in posting this question.

[MrMickeysMom]

49. get a grip, please

Nothing wrong with the post at all. I don't see a prize, other than the same feeling you'd get from a crossword puzzle answer page.

[rvablue]

51. OK, fine. I just didn't get it. n/t

[MrMickeysMom]

53. It does make me think of some alternative ideas...

Have a picture of a series of bathroom stalls and guess which black wingtips and gray paints belong to Larry Craig?

:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

56. I don't understand why you would assume that.

I'm asking for help identifying the people in the picture because I don't know who all of them are.

[rvablue]

58. Sorry, CW, the intention went over my head! n/t

[mb7588a]

50. L to R:

Conyers (seated), Hoyer, ?, Reid, Clyburn, Baucus, Obama, Lugar, Rockefeller, Waxman, Rangel, Pelosi, Snowe, ? Biden, ?, ? Durbin

I got all but 4.

54. Wow, great job.

I'm just sorry there's no prize!

52. GOP Senator Richard Luger is the short white-haired guy next to Henry Waxman.
