The House is totally scripted today

[paineinthearse]

Has anyone been watching the House proceedings. Totally scripted, all day.

1. Opened with a point of order. Hastert read a prepared reply.

2. To expedite resolution processing, to limit debate and refer amendments to conference committee, members are rising for colloguies. Whenever a member with an amendment presents it to the chair managing the time, the chair reads a prepared response (mainly Regula (sp?) of Ohio.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we can expect in the future when the Rethugs retain control.
