The Classiest Thing That Has Ever Happened In Congress

Drink up!

This is Fred Upton. He is a congressman from Michigan.

This is Ed Whitfield. He is a congressman from Kentucky.

This week Louisville, a school located in Kentucky, beat Michigan 82-76 for the NCAA National Title.

The next day at an energy committee hearing, Rep. Whitfield made a generous concession from his home district.

"Awkward."

But graciously accepted the present.
