(This is practice for my dream job at the Onion. I think I might have to work at it more. Is it funny at all? Some constructive criticisms would be much appreciated. It's a lot harder to make up the news then I thought.)
Sign Language Interpreter Mocks Representative During Speech
Stephen Dorr, congressional sign language interpreter, stopped interpreting Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and started making fun of him at Thursday's Congressional meeting.
"Look at this Douche. Does he even know what he is talking about?" signed Dorr.
McCarthy was speaking on the "importance of the detection of early childhood disabilities." To which Dorr signed, "I'm sure he knows all about early childhood disabilities." And then he added, "Oh right, that's what he is talking about . . . early childhood disabilities. What a Douche."
In an interview during the congressional break, Dorr said he was tired of listing to "blow-hards" and wanted to make his friends laugh.
"Really, I don't even think anyone was paying attention," Dorr said.
Samantha Renaldo, a deaf woman sitting in on the meeting with a tour, said she didn't even notice.
"I think I might have fallen asleep when he was talking," Renaldo said.
When asked his thoughts, McCarthy said, "He did what now?"
