ANNAPOLIS – The State Assembly, shackled by its inability to get important legislation passed before its session ended, called in University of Maryland Girls Basketball hero Kristi Toliver in a failed attempt to for some last minute progress to be made.
“We felt that since she can make an off-balance three with under ten seconds left in the NCAA Championship game to tie it, she can come in here with one day left and quickly solve all of our short-comings here in the State House,” said one source close to last minute legislative efforts. “Kristi shows a poise and expertise that is rarely seen around these parts.”
Among some of the legislation in question includes a bill to regulate the highly controversial BGE rate increase of 72%.
“Public opinion polls show a 99.9 % favorable rating for Kristi while the State Government is polling at about a 25 or 30% favorable,” claimed non-partisan political consultant Ryan Lake. “To me, this actually may make some sense since this shows that people in Maryland are more likely to be start-struck by Kristi than by their elected officials, and this includes the officials themselves. It’s too bad they could not get her the ball.”
Lake also went on to say that other polls he conducted show that the Lady Terps, in general, could probably stage an electoral coup this November if they so chose.

Lake also went on to say that other polls he conducted show that the Lady Terps, in general, could probably stage an electoral coup this November if they so chose.
“Right now I got (Coach) Brenda Frese polling 10 points ahead of Erlich and O’Malley, Kristi Tolliver is 15 ahead of Mike Miller, and Crystal Langhorne is up almost 20 on Michael Busch,” said Lake. “Let’s face it, these girls are on top of the charts and look to be for a long time.”
Lake continued to explain Annapolis’ failure to grasp the “Overtime is Our Time” theme that Coach Frese announced to the country live on ESPN the night of the victory.
“It was right there, waiting to be used in the session. All someone had to do is say ‘Let’s get this done because Overtime is our time in Annapolis’ and they would have been put on the pedestal immediately,” Lake declared. “But, typical Annapolis, in one ear and out the other.”
