Congressman’s son sleeps on buddy’s couch

Being the kid of a congressman isn’t as glamorous as it might sound. 

The 22-year-old son of Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah) didn’t even have a comfy bed to call his own — he crashed on a friend’s couch right before he left for an internship in Washington.

A profile in The Utah Statesman, the newspaper of Utah State University, reveals that junior Jashon Bishop even mooched breakfast from his pal’s pad: “After a quick routine of shower, shave, and snagging a bowl of his makeshift roommate’s cereal, he’s out the door — en route to work.” Bishop made some extra cash stocking books and taking Internet orders at the campus bookstore.

Luckily, Bishop’s less-than-ideal living situation was only temporary. The congressman’s son just started his internship in the office of Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).

Hopefully he’s at least upgraded from a couch to a futon while in D.C.
