Too bad nothing will come of it..

Can we replace Biden with Weiner plz thx

Man if all of them were this passionate the government could probably make back some of the deficit with ratings from C-SPAN

Let me translate that for everyone here.

"The Gentleman will observe regular order, and sit down."

What he really means, is "Sit the fuck down you asshole, it's the mother fucking rules."

"Gentleman"
Translates into asshole.

Everyone got that? Ok.

Well played Wiener, didn't even have to look at a piece of paper to let 'em have it.

What a looser this guy is and his party.. They could not even get this passed by a simple majority. That means the Democrats did not vote for this bill.. Quit blaming Republicans.

Aren't you supposed to out throwing chairs across a basketball court somewhere?

Hey, facts!


The Dems didn't want to risk the Republicans tacking on a lose-lose amendment to the bill (no benefits for illegal immigrants), so they put it out on a procedure that precludes amendments, but which requires a 2/3rds majority to pass.
The bill would easily have made a simple majority, had it come to that.

Sounds almost like a speech in the House of Commons. Love it.

I so LOVE American politics. Best show on earth. Let them have it Weiner, nicely done.

Finally American politics is catching up with the rest of the world! I really enjoy the shouting matches in Australian parliament, at least you get to see the character of your elected decision makers.

Actually, this 'looser' had a point to make in light of the actual roll call. Simple majority had already been obtained, making your comment worth about fuck all.

He would make a bad-ass vice president!

I'd go gay for Weiner. Someone give this guy a mop to wipe up those motherfucking Republicans.

I lol'ed when he said "the gentleman is correct in sitting down."

He should be ripping into the Dems and the president for not giving him the time of day during the public debates on health care. Then he should be ripping into the law that allows the lobbyist money to flow into both parties, preserving the balance of power in favor of monied interest rather than the people.

Political Theater aka showbiz for the ugly. Usually taxocrats are low-key and subversive (except when accusing the sun, trees and rocks of racism). The left utilizes their State-Run media, government schools and activist judges to effect radical changes to society no one (sane) would ever vote for outright. November can't get here fast enough.

I immediately thought of this:

So. . . opposing health care for 9/11 survivors; that's where republicans want to make a stand? I have the feeling that if the exact same bill was proposed by a republican under Bush, the vast majority of republicans would have voted for it. I guess ensuring that the democrats have no "achievements" is all that ultimately matters. If a few thousand 9/11 rescuers have to go without treatment for their respiratory conditions, it's a small price to pay to prevent democrats from looking good.

Oh, sure, next you'll be talking about how they don't have dedicated servers, lean, or prone, and the DRM is way too invasive, and the DLC isn't worth the price. Spoiled kids these days...

The Democratic Party isn't balanced for lean.>> ^ForgedReality:

My Democrat DLC is totally worth the price. Way more levels and everything.
