A "stunt" ?!?!?!?
A "stunt" like the planned "nuclear option"?

A "stunt" like trying to change the rules the first time DeLay had a brush with legal problems?

A "stunt" like stopping the clock to trade pork for vote switches?

What's your favorite example of Republican "stunts"?

1. The "Schiavo" stunt was a classic. It included the video diagnosis stunt.
DeLay getting the Democratic judge removed from his case in Texas. :grr:

10. Very good one.

...considering how unpopular that whole mess turned out to be. Good one to rub their noses in.

2. It took a "stunt" to get Roberts to quit stonewalling the Bush
use of Iraq intelligence. Roberts was delaying and stonewalling ANY investigation of this.

16. Calling the cops to have House Dems from a meeting room
where they were discussing a bill they hadn't been given time to read before voting on it.

An oldie but a goodie.

21. Reading to children while the country was under attack.
That was a good one.

And allowing the BinLadens to fly while everyone else was grounded was good.

And giving Paris Hilton a tax cut while starving children went to bed without a meal /
