Why the fuck don't we just hold the FISA vote during Jesse Helms' funeral today??

The Repukes did it just to be disruptive during the memorial service for Rep. Lantos.




Republicans disrupt Lantos memorial service
Even the dead are political pawns to the Republicans (then again, we already knew that post-September 11).

1. Right - they held a vote during Lantos' funeral. They are 100% scum. Dems are only 10% scum.

5. Let's hold an emergency vote on the anti hate-crime legislation during the Helmes memorial service.

2. Because Jesse's funeral was yesterday.

4. Harry Reid just said they're having a service for Helmes later today. n/t

6. Oh a separate Capitol Hill service?

8. No, he's letting the GOP hold their lunch caucus today, since they

missed it yesterday due to the funeral.

9. Ahh... okay. I mis-heard him.

It's hard to understand what Harry Reid says while his head is up Bush's ass.

7. There's still a memorial event in DC, I believe.

3. A second funeral?

I swear I saw a replay of a service on C-Span. Is this another one? And yes, good idea. The repubs pulled that during the service for Tom Lantos.

10. don't forget, Repukes held votes for very politically charged bills forcing Kerry to

fly in from the campaign so that he could cast a vote ... and then, the Repukes rescheduled the vote ...

The Dems in charge gave John McCain every opportunity and plenty of notice to come in and vote FOR the new GI bill, and he didn't bother ... didn't even support it ... and Bush gives him public credit for it ...
