Glad to see Rep. Jim McDermott is all warmed up for the new Bruce Lee exhibit coming soon to the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience in Seattle.

But this contribution marks the first time the Washington Democrat has donned a costume (from Lee's closet in "Game of Death" and paid homage to by Quentin Tarantino in "Kill Bill, Vol. I" with The Bride's duds) to get the word out about anything.  </p> <p> <a href="https://media.cq.com/pub/2013/race-ratings-rc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><br /> <strong>Roll Call Election Map: Race Ratings for Every Seat</strong><br /> </a><br /> <strong><br /> <em>Get breaking news alerts and more from Roll Call <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/register/main.html?pos=rr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in your inbox</a> or <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/roll-call-news/id433753469?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on your iPhone</a>.</em><br /> </strong> </p> <p></body>
