The article was funny too. Imagine if the Democrats had the brass and organization to pull off stuff like this though:
"To induce this working together, Boehner decided to stop the House from working at all. As House Democrats tried to pass legislation to ease the mortgage crisis on Wednesday, Republicans served up hours of procedural delays, demanding a score of roll call votes: 10 motions to adjourn, half a dozen motions to reconsider, various and sundry amendments, a motion to approve the daily journal, a motion to instruct and a "motion to rise."
The high point came just after 6 p.m., when, after one of the motions to adjourn, 61 members lined up to change their votes, one by one. Forty-six went from aye to no, while 15 changed from no to aye. The maneuver ate up 28 minutes in all -- and caused an eruption by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who accused the minority of a "filibuster by vote changing.""
That's the funniest part of all. To think Charles Rangel actually thought he was going to get a giant government hand out for the half wits that fell for the weakest sales tactics in US History, the sub-prime loan, pfffff. That one's right up there with McGovern's 6,000 for every American citizen deal back in the Great Society heyday.
or this year's stimulus package?
