Our elected leaders

Unbeknownst to Kaptur and the other lawmakers participating in Monday’s hearing, the audio from a movie — 1996’s “Down Periscope,” starring Kelsey Grammer as a disliked Navy officer who leads a crew of misfits in hijinks on the high seas amid some wargames — was playing over the congressional livestream. As the meeting began, the critically disdained movie was reaching its climax.

“You watch yourself, Dodge. You are addressing a superior officer,” Bruce Dern’s Rear Admiral Yancy Graham says.

“No, merely a higher ranking one,” Grammer’s Dodge zings in response.

“We look forward to hearing from our attendees,” Kaptur then said, barely audible over the sound of torpedoes being launched.

The movie choice was surprisingly fitting for the hearing’s topic: members’ funding requests from the Appropriations subcommittee for energy and water. As Frank J. Mrvan, D-Ind., called for Army Corps of Engineers funds to help keep the waterways of Northwest Indiana navigable, the Stingray’s torpedoes struck its intended target.

After the movie ended, the hearing continued with Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., testifying over a soundtrack of “In the Navy” by the Village People.
