The three Republicans and two Democrats could have got their point across just as well, and without being "quitters", by remaining seated and singing "Eat It" by Weird Al, in bipartisan unison with Weird Al faces. Or is there something I'm just not seeing here? When the moment requires it, anybody can rise to the occasion and come up with the lyrics to "Eat It" by Weird Al. Also, don't NY councilmen have staff who google lyrics for them when lyrics are needed?
