Schock: “I don’t know what happened. I left for the weekend, and when I returned, the office was decorated! I had no input whatsoever. What’s Downton Abbey? And of course I’m planning to pay the decorator … er … someday …”
Speaking for the crusty old white guy demographic, I’m a little offended.

Shock Jock Schock is into schlock!!
No, the rep is a “new, fresh crust” flavor from the Supper Bowl pizza ads. Sriracha and santorum, anyone?
His response isn’t helping, he hurls a few veiled insults and plays the, I don’t recall, game.
Plus, he’s actually trying to defend that hideous mess that he calls decorating as youthful. Whatever it is, youthful it ain’t.
Massive Feng Shui? Moidern neo-con? Colonial scarlet? Whorehouse? Shabby chic?
Hodge podge on steroids? Crusty young white guy? All of the above.
This is a copy of his favorite TV show and obviously he’s embarrassed of himself.
“America deal with it. We have a fancy Congressman” says the Peoria Journal something. He seems a bit more “fancy” than these idiots realize.
The decorating style is, “I got elected to shut down Congress and destroy the beast but before I do that I’m going to have a little fun with it at taxpayer’s expense.”
Only a closeted Republican would paint office walls Nancy Reagan Red.
Reminds me of an old cartoon punchline: “I’m sorry sir, but your decorator ran off with a troop of gypsies.”

Honestly, I think he should have gone a little more toward that fabulous '50’s color, Flamingo. Nice work, from the other, JZ. You could almost cut the tension with a knife. Going forward, everyone will know exactly what’s meant by “Schock Red.”
Never has a closet been so well decorated…
I guess young means wasteful? The old guys according to him aren’t decorating but he sure the hell is. Its only money.
Oh, I DO think that “never been” BEFORE is a lot more accurate.
And now we learned that it combines with that oh-so-cutie pie traditional antebellum regard for people “of color”. Obviously, Rep. Schock holds to the view that everyone should known their place!
Good luck in the next election in ILLINOIS, Belle va dear!
Well, I’ve never been an old crusty white guy. You may call me m’Lord.
Schock, it seems is a gay man that legislates all that he can against gay rights and equality. Then there is that little racist/not racist thing going on with his staff.
Hypocrisy alone wouldn’t really do justice as far as describing this guy. He is a phony in pink espadrilles. Yeah I know, I know what espadrilles are.
Well, unfortunately for you and Rep. Schock, there are rules about such things, according to the Washington Post:
Beyond costs, Schock also might be in violation of arcane rules established by the Architect of the Capitol that dictate what can happen on the walls of House and Senate office suites. Rules dictate that House offices may be painted in one of just a few preselected colors. "Two buffs. A yellow. A blue-ish. And two grays,” is how Stephen T. Ayers, the current architect of the Capitol, described the colors in a 2010 interview with The Washington Post.
A House lawmaker can opt to have their private office – an inner sanctum within the suite – painted any color they choose, so long as they pay for the paint, according to the architect. But all other parts of the suite where staffers sit must be painted in one of the five colors. As The Post reported on Monday, Schock’s outer office, where visitors wait to meet with him, is painted and decorated similarly to his personal office.
Inquiries to the AOC about Schock’s potential violation of the rules were not immediately returned on Wednesday.
You’re not an ‘old crusty white guy’. True. What you are is a young naive white guy who is full of himself.
