Congressman: 'We all cast our votes with one hand and crossed our fingers with the other'...
Can we just tell our reps to shut up and vote?!?

:argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh:

“There is plenty to complain about for everyone, and perhaps that’s the sign of a good compromise,” said U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Missouri Democrat. “Regardless of party, we all cast our votes with one hand and crossed our fingers with the other.”

pugs will spin this. Wikipedia explains it best "The supposed loophole of crossing one's fingers whilst making a promise is usually exploited by school-aged children."
