Somehow, I don’t think this new seating arrangement on the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee is going to help much (hat tip: Political Wire):

Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) are changing the seating arrangements for members of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, according to Washington Wire.

“For future hearings, Democrats and Republicans won’t sit on opposite sides of the dais but rather, next to each other — alternating Democrat, Republican, Democrat, Republican etc.”

What is this? Romper Room?
