On Tuesday, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) expressed bipartisan solidarity with Grassley, apparently in spite of a blogger’s satire about Grassley’s “devastation.”

I agree with @ChuckGrassley. @HistoryChannel needs more actual history & less “Swamp People.” wonkette.com/466661/chuck-g…

“Swamp People” is a reality show aired weekly on the History Channel that follows the travails of a group of Cajun alligator hunters in Louisiana. Other popular reality shows aired on the channel are “Ax Men,” about loggers in the Northwestern part of the United States, and “Pawn Stars,” about a family-operated pawn shop in Las Vegas.
