Our own Jacob is both bold and beautiful, because with a new haircut, he mustered the courage to ask a United States Senator out on a date … well, sort of.

Jacob ran into Senator Katie Britt Wednesday near her office, and she actually came a runnin’ … because the two have history. Jacob tweeted Tuesday, asking if anyone had a recommendation for a barber, and Senator Britt stepped up and recommended the Senate barbershop.

Jacob went and got Congressional styling and then ran into Senator Britt, who was more than impressed. She requested a pirouette, and Jacob happily obliged.

So Jacob has been tweeting about restaurants and other joints in town, and turns out, even though he’s only been in D.C. for 2 1/2 weeks, his knowledge base is deeper than the Senate-bound Britt. So he asked her out on a date to hit the town looking for the best chow, and Katie accepted!

Hold your roll … it’s just for fun. Britt is married to former professional football player Wesley Britt … and he’s like 8 feet tall.
