During a campaign stop in Iowa, Sen. Amy Klobuchar mentioned her “great staff” after she wrongly said that Sen. John McCain was born in Council Bluffs, which resulted in a chorus of nos from the crowd:
Klobuchar, in Council Bluffs IA, talks about bipartisan work in the Senate, then mentions John McCain, "who was born in Council Bluffs." Murmurs of "no!" from the crowd; Klobuchar says she had read it in a briefing, then pokes fun at the "great staff" that put briefing together.

It was actually Sen. McCain’s father that is the Council Bluffs native:
Klobuchar says, correctly, that McCain's FATHER was born in Council Bluffs. But the joke about the bad briefing raised some eyebrows (two of them belonging to me)

Someone is getting a binder or stapler thrown at them:
Someone better duck on that bus later.

At the very least, the staffer has to clean the combs:
A lot of comb utensils are going to be cleaned tonight
