#1 Is Nancy trying to halve public approval for Congress by November? Sounds like it to me.

#2 San Fran Nan is presiding over a snatching-defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory party. The GOP should beat this drum long and loud: Dem's voting a Congress vacation recess and deliberately not dealing with a vote on energy. Who wants to help get the price of gas down? Not your libtard Donk congresscritters

P.S.: apologies for mentioning Pelosi and snatch in the same comment

#5 I'm quite pleased now that I voted for John Boehner (pronounced, for some reason, as Bay'-ner) the last time he was up for reelection.

#7 UPDATE 7: It's over.

Right at the stroke of five Georgia Rep. Tom Price announced that House Republicans were ending their impromptu protest on the floor of the chamber, ending a five-plus hour rebellion with a round of "God Bless America."

The assembled tourists, aides and members in the chamber gave Price and his compatriots a standing ovation. They left the chamber to shouts of "USA! USA! USA!"

#8 Could you imagine the shitstorm that would happen were the GOP to turn off the litghts and turn off the cameras, in an effort to dodge out on an issue of public importance?

#9 This couldn't be going better if Rove himself set it in motion. I hope the donks block the subject from coming to the floor all the way till november.
