CHeck out CSPIN -1

[ChairmanAgnostic]

the house clerk REALLY fucked up, by not transmitting the complete farm bill to the White House. So, whatever Bush Vetoed was different than what the house and senate passed.

Now, they are trying to fix it, and Reprehensitive Boehner (R) just added a privileged motion, which calls the D leadership scum and liars, for a vote. They are now voting on a motion to table Boner's attack. If Boehner wins, the farm bill dies.

fascinating.

People are NOT happy in congressland today.

1. I'm glad they are not happy

I want them to go home for memorial day and be kicked in the ass by their constituents.
I'd like them to feel insecure about reelection.

2. Is there no end to the gross incompetence in DC?

As Dan Abrams would say, "Another reason why people hate Washington."

3. Can't they just re-transmit the corrected complete farm bill?

They gotta go through a fancy dance and re-do it?

4. I agree. I would say Bush has NOT officially and legally vetoed the bill.

Otherwise, what is to prevent the same happening again but intentionally in order to prevent passage of the bill?

6. they are holding a second vote now,

including the section that had been left out from what the pres vetoed. The legal eagles within the bloatway agree that is the only way out of the morass, after which the clerk and staff should be fired.

5. I heard this morning that it was a clerk's "clerical error" ... I wonder ...

was that "clerk" working there prior to 1/3/2007?
