Just what Rep. Raul Grijalva needs: Another bolo tie.

The Arizona Democrat is famous for being allowed to sport the tie variation in the House chamber (despite the “ties required” dress code), so guess what he got for his 60th birthday? Another bolo tie!

The congressman celebrated the big day with his family and staff in Tucson and the birthday lunch included “a really tasty” Chinese buffet, according to one.

The bolo tie wasn’t the only present he received with “strings” in them: The music lover was also showered with several CDs.
