WASHINGTON -- The 111th Congress was sworn into office Tuesday, including Anh "Joseph" Cao of New Orleans, who took the oath on the House floor to become the first Vietnamese-American member of Congress.
Shifting his 4-year-old daughter, Betsy, from his right arm to his left, Cao raised his right hand as he swore to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic." His other daughter, Sophia, 5, stood just behind her father on a back bench where newer members of Congress sit.
... Moments earlier, Pelosi asked the members to thank their families, and Cao, 41, could be seen tilting his head back and gazing up to scan the House gallery to find his wife, Hieu "Kate" Hoang, like him a refugee from Vietnam, and his elderly parents who, as Saigon was about to fall to the Communists in 1975, sent the 8-year-old Cao, his brother and a sister to America and a new life.
Cao's father, a lieutenant in the South Vietnamese Army, was soon after sent to a Communist "re-education camp," where he spent seven years. Cao's mother remained in Vietnam to raise her other five daughters and wait for her husband's release. She was able to visit her husband only five times in seven years. They now live with one of Cao's sisters near Mary Queen of Vietnam, the Catholic Church that is the center of New Orleans' thriving Vietnamese community.
Cao is one of three new members in the seven-strong Louisiana delegation. Two doctors -- John Fleming, R-Minden, and Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge -- also were elected this fall. Louisiana's House delegation now has only one Democrat, Charlie Melancon of Napoleonville.

Apart from Mr Cao's achievements, I'm sure the gentlemen here will want to congratulate him on being married to Mrs Cao. :-)

She said, "congratulate him on being married to Mrs Cao", not marring Mrs. Cao. :tongue:

Okay. Either way, the name doesn't fit her, she's pretty.

I cannot believe the oversexed middle-aged teenagers around here. Such crude immaturity! You should be ashamed.
Yes, the lady is attractive, and yes, it may cross a gentleman's mind that it would be nice to go lizard-tongue on her unclothed torso, but you should still show some respect.
:hammer:

Louisiana's House delegation now has only one Democrat, Charlie Melancon of Napoleonville.
it's a great story, and his win in the runoff was huge. but this is william jefferson's old district; I can't help but think that we are only renting it for two years. and that is nothing against cao, but it tells you volumes about the people of the 2nd CD in LA.
