If Congress is junior high, who are Brownback, Roberts?

At the tender age of 30, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., has more standing than anyone else in Congress to this recent claim: “This place is a much more sophisticated junior high school. There are the nice guys that everybody likes, the jocks, the geeks, the bullies — they’re all here.” This line of thought has had bloggers at RedState.org trying to liken lawmakers to their school counterparts (Tom DeLay as bully, Dennis Kucinich as band kid, Nancy Pelosi as hippie, etc.). Not hard to place “Todd the Bod” Tiahrt (actual nickname from his youth) among the jocks, but what of Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts?
