Smile, Congressman West!

Thirteen minutes ago, the office of newly sworn-in Rep. Allen West (R., Fla.) sent out this photo, in an e-mail labeled “We did it!”

Allen West, being sworn in, but not smiling.

Come on, Congressman. It’s your day to be sworn in to an office you campaigned for and worked hard to achieve. Sure, you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you, but you’re allowed to smile.

Three minutes ago, his office sent out the same message with this photo:

Now Allen West is smiling.

Now that’s more like it!

If it could have been done Allen West was my first choice to take the gavel away from Nancy Pelosi. My 2nd chioce was Jon Runyan.

My 3rd choice would have been Nick Papaditch, who lost his race, but Nick please run again.
