CT legislators caught playing solitaire, reading ESPN during budget debate

In a scene reminiscent of every law school class ever, three members of the Connecticut State House of Representatives were caught on camera goofing around on their computers during the height of the legislature’s big budget debate yesterday.

In the Associated Press photo, two representatives — Barbara L. Lambert (D-Milford) and John F. Hennessy (D-Bridgeport) — are seen playing solitaire on their respective laptops, while an unidentified third representative is shown viewing ESPN.com on his.

Heh. (Hat tip: Doug Mataconis.)

It reminds me of a couple of photos that I took in Torts class 1L year, versions of which — carefully cropped to protected the innocent guilty — eventually showed up on the old blog:

Ah, Alan Gunn’s class. Those were the days. Just remember: British people are peculiar.
