Tie Your Shoe, Billy Long!

The photos of Long were taken early in December, 2010, when he attended a seminar for freshman legislators at Harvard University.

Long tweeted about his experiences on his twitter account Auctnr1:
Just finished a 2 hour session w/ Sec. Condoleezza Rice - I quizzed her on Wikileaks and she autographed her book for me - very informative! Wednesday, December 01, 2010 2:12:52 PM via Mobile Web

Long and a constituent had the following exchange about his meeting Condoleeza Rice at Harvard at a Fair Tax Meeting here in Springfield that the SNL's Roseann Moring chronicled in her blog for the News-Leader:

"He also spoke about his preparation for Washington. He attended a seminar at Harvard University where he spoke former officials such as Condoleezza Rice and the architect of No Child Left Behind.

“Did you shoot her?” asked an attendee about the NCLB architect.

“She wanted to shoot me,” he said.

About his freshman class, he said: “We’re very aware of the tea party. We know that’s why most of us got elected.”
