Montana Senator parties like it's 2006

Saw this in the Times yesterday: 

THE space between Senator Jon Tester’s 1,800-acre ranch outside Big Sandy, Mont., and the nation’s capital is metaphysically and culturally large. But mostly, it’s just plain large.

Traveling from his ranch to the airport in Great Falls, Mont., takes 90 minutes by truck. Then Senator Tester takes two commercial flights to reach Reagan National Airport here.

Such a trip calls for light packing, yet the senator, a first-term Democrat, can often be found lugging an extra 40-pound roller bag, which he gingerly stuffs into the overhead bin. His precious cargo is neither briefing books nor an extra raincoat, but roasts, ribs, round steak and (his favorite) rib steak.

If I understand correctly, Sen. Tester is taking food from his home state, and putting it on his plate in DC. Well, it was a good idea in 2006, and it's still a good idea now. I hear that Sen Tester is also really looking forward to checking out The Knife, and is excited about this young fellow from Illinois.

It looks like a music video. It is cool and interesting but what is the connection of the video to the article?

Being a Romani, I like The Knife for their stance on the treatment of these people in the EU plus I'm down with the beats in this song.
I'd take a ribeye from Montana than any DC steakhouse steak any day or night.
