Aaron Schock's office furnished to resemble the show (or something like that. Don't watch it but still this is pretty random).
--

Rep. Aaron Schock’s (R-Ill.) new office in the Rayburn Office Building, which was designed to resemble the dining room of the PBS show “Downton Abbey.” (Ben Terris/The Washington Post)

Schock has been blatantly gay for ages but for some reason everyone with any power refuses to talk about the sheer hypocrisy of it, and the journalist who tried to out him was roundly condemned. Awful.

I like the arranged pheasant feathers. Very chic.

Btw what is the deal with the empty portrait frames and frames not fitting their portraits? That's not a 'thing' is it?

I second this. Somebody needs to explain what is happening with the frames. Please.

This is hideous, just like him and his views.

I think that room is his way of coming out to the world. Perhaps he's trying to tell us something?

It may be, but it makes this not a true recreation from Downton Abbey.

The portrait frames not fitting the paintings and overlapping with the paneling on the walls looks really bad.

Also, it looks like he just found some official presidential portraits on Wikipedia and had them screen-printed onto canvas. He could have at least maybe found some work by local artists from his district or something to display instead. That stuff looks so generic.

Don't worry he set fire to the teal belt, to prove his heterosexuality.
