Media alert: Billy Long wears cowboy hat in House freshman photo

The great hat question has been decided. Our newly elected Seventh District Congressman Billy Long wore his cowboy hat in the House freshman photo and joined the two member Cowboy Hat Caucus, as he began exploring the challenges he will face in Washington.

Just another chapter in Billy Long's Excellent Adventure:

While only nine of 93 freshman are Democrats, Long became quick friends with one, Frederica Wilson, who will represent Florida's 17th District.

The two saw each other -- and stood out to each other --because they both wear cowboy hats.

The two call themselves "The Cowboy Hat Caucus."

"I wear hats every day, I have for 20 years," said Wilson, whose campaign logo included a cowboy hat. "He saw me when we were sitting down to breakfast and he said he wears hats, too."

I used to play cowboy too-when I was six. This guy's election says it all about the people of the 7th district. What a joke.

.and while other freshman Congresspeople delved into piles and piles of complex rules, regulations, and furthering their political agenda, ole' Billy Boy checked out the size of hamburgers, people's hats, and made his first big decision - his office space - without even bothering a moments thought about location or anything else - and then proceeded to make sure it was stylish and updated with the latest paint and furniture, God forbid it be 2 years out of date.

How long before Long starts wearing an American flag label pin?
