Up Next: Senator Puck

House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-WI) is expected to announce his retirement today. It’s a tough blow for Democrats, but good news for fans of reality TV: His potential Republican replacement is Sean Duffy, “a 38-year-old champion competitive lumberjack known by many for his stint on the 1997 Boston season of MTV’s ‘The Real World.’… Duffy is the father of six children with his wife Rachel Campos, alumna of “Real World: San Francisco” who also vied for Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s slot on ‘The View.’ They met on an MTV spin-off show, ‘Road Rules: All Stars.’”
