Heard on the Hill: Take Five!

Every Tuesday, HOH gets to know a Member of Congress better through a series of five fun questions. This week, we chat with Rep. Thaddeus McCotter. The Michigan Republican is known for his quirky personality and love of music.

Q: Which team do you think will win the Stanley Cup?

A: Detroit Red Wings.

Q: If you could have dinner with anyone (aside from your family), who would it be and why?

A: Marcel Marceau. He has no mime for chitchat.

Q: What’s your favorite drink?

A: Milk.

Q: What’s your favorite movie of all time?

A: “Swamp Shark.”

Q: Who’s your best friend in Congress?

A: When I get one, a dog. (HOH advises McCotter to chat with Sen. Roy Blunt.)
