What did they say? Gang-bang packages and foo foo dust

Politicians make some over-the-top remarks from time to time, and last week a few quotes at the state capitol left observers wondering, “What did they say?”

Southern Minnesota Republicans had some choice words about adult parties and drugs.

“Rochester has put together a gang-bang package,” said Sen. David Senjem, R-Rochester, of a reception put together by the city last week for Rochester Day at the State Capitol during Senate announcements on Monday.

Hosting an adult party doesn’t seem at all like the modest city of Rochester.

“I just think that this is so much foo foo dust that that’s coming out with all of these numbers,” said Sen. Dick Day, R-Owatonna referring to the estimates by Rep. James Oberstar for how much money Minnesota could see from the federal stimulus package.

Foo foo dust is slang for crack cocaine. Is that Day’s nice way of saying Oberstar is smoking crack if he thinks his numbers are correct?
