The Rockey Mountain News ran a fairly interesting parallel biographies of Mark Udall and Bob Schaffer in yesterday's paper, one highlight of which was learning that Mark came within 3,000 feet of the summit of Everest in 1994 before being forced down by weather conditions.
Meanwhile, apparently Schaffer enjoys practical jokes, and in 1998--in what could only have been a grand metaphor for his political career--he served Rockey Mountain Oysters to unknowing attendees of a fundraiser in Washington D.C. He is quoted as having said "everybody had a ball."
