"You Rang?": Is Timothy Hill U.S. Representative David Davis' WDC Manservant?

From the September 15, 2007 Washington Post article "With a Congressman Next Door and a Capital View Outside":

It's always fun to see whom you can see in the exercise room or doing their laundry, said Timothy Hill, who moved into one of the 40 efficiencies with his wife just before New Year's Day. His boss, Rep. David Davis (R-Tenn.), lives in a one-bedroom on another floor, carrying on a tradition among representatives of his district. "When he calls, I get on the elevator," Hill said, jokingly."

U.S. Rep. David Davis

I am not creeped out as much by this Washington Post article revealing that Davis' congressional press secretary and legendary Davis "yes man" Timothy Hill is apparently now acting as U.S. Rep. David Davis' downstairs maid at their --- get this (for real) --- Hill House apartments in downtown Washington, D.C., as I am "ewwwww-ekk"ed with the reported statement in the Washington Post that quotes Hill saying that he gets his jollies watching other people do their laundry at the Hill House...

Must be part of Timothy's punishment for violating U.S. House Ethics Rules with his vandalizing of Wikipedia political bios --- "Hill House" arrest.

Also from the "must really love his boss" file:

a reliable and local, non-Washington Post source revealed that Hill and his wife vacationed with Davis and his family following the highly contested 2006 Republican primary election in the Tennessee 1st U.S. House District.

Rep. Matthew "Camera Hog" Hill Tilts Hapless Woman Aside For His Face Time At EPA Photo Op

Rep. Matthew Hill

Here is an image file cropped from a large photo posted at the U.S. EPA web site showing U.S. Rep. David Davis and Tennessee State Rep. Matthew Hill at an EPA photo op earlier this year in Johnson City wherein Hill was revealed with his hand on the shoulder of an unidentified woman, tilting her out of his way (and to the left, no less!) during the photo shoot --- I suppose that Matthew has finally made his transition from politican to "statesman", har, har, har!

I ran a verticle green line (approximating the expected axis of the woman), a yellow line indicating Hill's rude tilt of the hapless woman to the left, and a magenta line showing the apparent direction of the woman's feet and shoulders.

Let this photograph serve as a warning to all women across Northeast Tennessee --- never step in the direct line of sight between Tennessee State Representative Matthew Hill and a camera!!!

I am now also wondering just how many hundreds (or thousands) of federal tax dollars where wasted by the EPA to provide U.S. Rep. David Davis with the giant full-color PR vanity check (a recent show from the NBC network program The Office cited a cost of $200 for a much lesser quality black & white giant PR check) --- cause you just know that Davis' campaign treasury was not going to be footing the bill for this rather expensive looking 2008 David Davis re-election campaign prop!
