Csapn was replaying the health care thing from Blair House. But Cspan is obligated to cover the Congress when they're in session.

And so the repubicans have a few people up there, reading the phone book to an empty chamber, thereby preempting coverage of today's proceedings.

Have I said how much I despise repubicans?

I despise repubicans.

I want to know who thought this stunt up. Cuz its a good one.

2. Scheduled to air the summit at 8:00 est -- prime time...
But nooooo.... If you tune in for that, you'll see Republican nobodies practicing their script recitations.

4. Right now Dem, Debbie Staebow is talking on Cspan.

In the Senate.
And a R. Rep. in the House is talking.

Looks they had both Dems and Repugs doing business as usual in Congress today.

edit: spelling

6. It is CSpan (1) that was supposed to re-air today's summit starting at 8 pm
I have only seen Republicans yammering endlessly in the house.... preempting a prime-time airing of the summit tonight.
