The Fruits of Our Cheekbones

When it comes to getting work done, the Senate doesn’t fail...at least on the important issues. No, not Iraq or immigration (yawn and double-yawn), but WATERMELON! Yum!

That's right, after introducing their epic legislation on June 29, Saxby Chambliss (a.k.a Sexy Shambles) and Johnny Isakson (a.k.a. Jis), two Republican senators from Georgia, finally pushed through Res. 262 on June 9, "Declaring July 2007 as 'National Watermelon Month.'" Tastee!

Basically, if you don't buy, sell or otherwise partake in the snacking on of watermelon, you might just be put on the terrorist watch list.

But could incessant watermelon intake, result in less than Chertoffesque cheekbones? CFBS is tempted to conclude that it does. Perhaps, because it requires less jaw movement (rumor has it that Chertoff feasts solely on terrorist-jerky), the cheekbones just can't burn enough calories to stay in prime shape. Let's have a look at these watermelon-hooking senators:














Wow. Just wow. Looks like the Senate should have debated this whole "Watermelon month" thing a bit more. Jis(on the left) looks like he's melting. He's a CSS© 2 -- on a good day. Sexy Shambles(on the right) fairs slightly better than his cohort on the CSS©, but not nearly enough to outweigh his nascent watermelon jowls – 4, tops.
