I'm sorry to be so immature.

[Patsy Stone]

But I am having a giggling fit watching the House Republicans up so late trying to get their statements heard at 9:40 p.m.

:woohoo:

What a difference an election makes.

[MadMaddie]

1. They whine more than my 9 year old nephew and he doesn't

whine that much...

They are pathetic...get your popcorn ready cause the show is just getting started....

[Patsy Stone]

6. It's gonna get good when the gloves come off

Right now they're still figuring out how to get to those basement meeting rooms. :)

[MadMaddie]

9. Well the Repugs know where the light switches are...especially

"Fat Bastard Hastert".....

[IndyOp]

31. The light switches and the switches to the microphones -

I've heard Randi Rhodes play the tape of the day that the Wisconsin GOP Congressman Sensenbrenner turned off the microphones and abruptly called a committee meeting to a close when he didn't like what the Dems' witnesses were saying.

I still can't believe they did that. :wow:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

34. Yes, to my memory, Senslessbrenner knew where all the light switches

and the speakers were located. Probably left over from the days in his youth when he was the only one who never got invited to the COOL parties. :rofl:

[EFerrari]

2. I'm not watching but please let me join you in immaturely savoring this change.

:woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

8. It's delicious.

No one's there. Tumbleweeds and Republicans. Sometimes they are difficult to tell apart, but the Republicans are wearing Rep ties.

:hi: :toast:

[EFerrari]

21. LOL!

:toast:

[proud patriot]

3. LOL

Enjoy

[ClassWarrior]

4. Don't be. That's one of the things I like best about you, Luv!

Cheers Pats...

:toast:

NGU.

[Patsy Stone]

10. Cheers, Sweetie!

Keep believing!

:toast: :loveya:

[illinoisprogressive]

5. they are not use to actually working and doing real legislation

[Patsy Stone]

13. Especially if it means missing dinner!

YAY!!!!

[Monkeyman]

7. Hey lets have them have hearings in the basement

[neoblues]

14. Make them use a local hotel ballroom... nt.

[Patsy Stone]

15. I almost tied you

suggesting the same thing. :P

[lonestarnot]

25. Is there a dimly lighted room beneath the basement?

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

29. Yes! Let's have them meet in the little Capitol train tunnel

You're brilliant!

:hi:

[lonestarnot]

32. Heh heh heh!

Love it! :hi: :hug:

[Missy Vixen]

11. I'm wondering if David Drier is anywhere near as whiny

in his personal life as he is on the floor of the House.

If he is, I predict many lonely nights. :woohoo: :rofl:

Julie

[Patsy Stone]

17. The debate he'd have about where to go for dinner

would just about kill a person.

:hi:

[Olney Blue]

12. Poor little republicans.

[Patsy Stone]

30. Love it!

:rofl:

[JackBeck]

16. I share your late-night glee.

They look pretty tired, huh?

[Patsy Stone]

19. Unhappy campers

:thumbsup:

[Canuckistanian]

18. I'm immaturely with you

Minority status sucks, don't it?

I'm sure that Nancy and Harry will cut them some slack, right?

[Patsy Stone]

22. Doubtful

It's the graveyard shift for them. Wheeeeee!

[Canuckistanian]

37. Graveyard shift? Seems appropriate

'Cause they're merely ghosts now.

Or should I say a long nightmare...

[Patsy Stone]

39. Poltergeists?

:)

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. Hannity is the only one still watching at that hour..............

[madrchsod]

23. making them "work hard for their money"?

ya-just like the rest of america that has to work 8-12 hours a day 5-6/7 days a week... a hell of a lot of us would like to have a job and these assholes cry about theirs...fuck`m

[MoseyWalker]

24. Let's wake the bastards up at 3 am

numerous times for important votes, and then maybe we'll think about allowing them to re-enter the public discussion of political thought.

I don't want to be one who demands payback, but political life is what it is. They need to feel the results of what they have done over the years.

Does anyone remember the number of times they actually LOCKED OUT dems during policy discussions? They LOCKED OUT the minority members of committees.

fascist shits will whine and complain until they are forced to relocate to Argentina, or somewhere that will accept them.

[EFerrari]

26. Nigeria. There still some undone scams there.

[Patsy Stone]

27. Amen!

I'll second that emotion.

[AZBlue]

28. If that's immature, guess I'm a baby!

Ga, ga, goo, goo, ha, ha, HA!!!

[Imagevision]

33. Republicans saw what happened on Nov. 7th -- 2008 more heads will role if they continue

they're folly of staying the course supporting a losing president.

[TahitiNut]

35. All their normal evening activities are now prohibited.

They can't have expensive dinners with lobbyists ... collecting envelopes full of cash. They can't hang around the page quarters. They can't schedule dead-of-night votes on legislation curtailing our civil liberites or earmarking millions for cronies. They can't be coming back from a long, drunken weekend at the Mustang Ranch. Poor folks just don't have anything better to do.

[CatWoman]

36. Dah-ling!!!

you're not immature!!!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

38. Phew!

It makes it all better if I hear it from you.

:hi:

Plus, all of it paid off: I just saw Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Gator colors and accessories on the House floor. :rofl:

[CatWoman]

40. lol

Just caught that!!

:rofl:

[DemReadingDU]

41. Ah, the 30 Something Dems!

I love watching them in action! I wish they would put out a schedule when they are on the House floor. I channel-surf every day, but still usually do not see them.

Hey, do you know what they decided to do with that giant rubber stamp!

[Patsy Stone]

42. I hope they find it

and Bronze it and put it on display somewhere.

Kendrick is the next district over from mine. If it wasn't for my view, I'd move over there so he could be my Rep. His mom, Carrie, was amazing too. I've also toyed with the idea of moving to Debbie's district.

:hi: Long time no see. Happy New Year!

[DemReadingDU]

43. Kendrick had a survey a few weeks ago to find out what

most people would like to have done with that rubber stamp. But I never did find the results of that survey.

BTW, I met Tim Ryan last week! He is cute, and tall too! We were at a dinner in DC, to celebrate Ohio's new Senator, Sherrod Brown. Must have been over 500 people feeling good about Ohio at that dinner!

Unfortunately, Ohio State was no match for those Florida Gators last night, :(

Happy New Year to you! I've missed the KO blogs lately, hope to get back there again!

:hi:
