anything goes

With members of Congress hard up for money due to the financial crisis, House Republican leader, Rep. John A. Boehner, R-Ohio leads two others on a "Trip to Strip" any fixtures they can see in the Capitol they could get money for by auctioning them on eBay.

Marble from the floors are also included in the money hunt.

When Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo. (left, unseen) reaches for Boehner's purple tie to sell, the House Republican leader intercepts Salazar's cash-strapped hand, to feign a friendly shake.

The two other men keep their distance.
