WASHINGTON -- Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Charles Schumer, who spent the past year in bitter partisan disputes, sealed their first big compromise this week with a promise to have some fun together.
Where? Syracuse, of course.
Schumer, D-N.Y., the Senate Democratic leader, invited McConnell, R-Ky., the majority leader, to join him at the Carrier Dome next year for a basketball game between the Syracuse Orange and Louisville Cardinals, a Schumer aide confirmed Thursday.
Both men are avid fans of their home state teams and have decorated their respective offices with Syracuse University and Louisville basketball memorabilia.
