But, wait!!! There's more...!!!

Man, you gotta read these amendments to the Cap and Trade bill.

All new construction will require adequate outlets in the garage specifically for an ELECTRIC CAR.

And I'm sure we are all aware that we will soon be required to drive ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILES exclusively. Right? (Made in CHINA)

I heard congressman Boehner read them before the vote It was laughable because they were so ridiculous..

Doubtful. Once over lightly, maybe...flipped the pages, maybe.

Boehner is from Ohio and I'm quite aware of his Congressional aptitude, or lack thereof.

He gets a lot of media attention here...

I'm not sure what to say Jae.

I watched it. Did he read aloud all 300 pages? No.

Did he speak for a long time, Yes

...Boehner spoke a bit longer, but stopped 80-some pages short of the end. By then, an hour had passed.

and

House Filibuster

[Jae Williams]

You watched all of his reading??
I watched a lot, left, and came back for more of the same. How much of it do think he might recall--or understand?

We have a "crack(ed) team of experts in our homeland security sector" right here and now, discussing, as we read this post, this addendum--the 341 pages only--and a thorough reading with comprehension is not going to happen in an hour--or three, or five. This thing is convoluted, confusing, and downright outrageous.

Laughable? Noooo..."cry-able"? Yes, most assuredly...

[Michael Larson]

I remember him calling out some terms several times and asking rhetorically if anyone knew what they meant.

The bill is bad joke mixed with a high level of stupidity.

Waxman, Markey, and Pelosi and company should be ashamed but Ii think that is something they have forgotten.

I called my congressman yesterday and Ron Kind had not even made up his mind a very short time before the vote. I have not checked a vote tally yet but I will be shocked if he didn't note for it. There wasn't a single mention of it on his website yesterday and when I called and asked a staffer why, they didn't know.

Republican or Democrat the only real change we ill ever get is to toss them all out as soo as possile.

[Jae Williams]

I favor a National recall. Can we do that?

Boehner: Climate bill a 'pile of s--t'
By Molly K. Hooper Posted: 06/27/09 09:22 PM [ET]

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) had a few choice words about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) landmark climate-change bill after its passage Friday.

When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, "Hey, people deserve to know what's in this pile of s--t."

.........................

One Democrat was upset that his leaders would needlessly force vulnerable Dems to vote for a bill that will come back to haunt them. Mississippi Rep. Gene Taylor (D) voted against the measure that he says will die in the Senate.

"A lot of people walked the plank on a bill that will never become law," Taylor told The Hill after the gavel came down.

After hours of trying to comprehend these amendments, it became apparent that much of the 300+ pages consists of "strike (blah, blah, blah) paragraph from the original bill, and replace it with (yadda, yadda, yadda)". There is no possible way any of those Congressturds (including Boehner) could have read the amendments, compared back and forth with the original bill, and understood any of what they had read in that short period of time.

Boener was correct about the pile of s--t, but even he didn't read the whole thing (at that time), nor did he make the transitional changes or references to the original bill. He read just what could be followed without much thought at the time. Not many of those [on camera] were paying attention during all of this.

And did you notice the "full house"? The only people who seemed to be present were the speakers (but not the Speaker--there was pro temp. Nancy-pants was in the rear of the hall discussing whatever with other party leaders, we were told.)

They only fill the chairs when they can get some face time on the MSMs especially for juicy hearings.

They are much too busy screwing everyone to actually do their job.

I thought that job was reserved for Republicans?
