Republican Congressmen Accidentally Love Raising the Debt Ceiling

The unprecedented dumb carnival stunts that were struck as part of the deal to allow the government to issue debt for spending measures it's already passed popped up again earlier this week, as the House passed a meaningless "resolution of disapproval" for the latest $500 billion in borrowing authority. But some Republican members of Congress were so used to voting "no" on anything tangentially related to the debt ceiling that they accidentally voted against the resolution of disapproval, like clowns.

It's already been noted that this Congress is among the most incompetent ever at the simple act of casting yes or no votes. Well, the struggle continues:

Wednesday's House vote disapproving the recent increase in the nation's debt limit was unusual in at least one respect: it drew opposition from five Republicans, including a committee chairman, two of whom now say they didn't mean to oppose the nonbinding resolution.

"I inadvertently voted ‘no' when I intended to vote ‘yes,'" Mr. Gingrey told the House on Thursday. Mr. Buchanan had an additional request: "Please let the permanent record reflect that I support H.J. Res. 77 and my vote should be recorded as ‘aye.'"
"Vern thought he had voted yes, until he found out otherwise," said Max Goodman, a spokesman for Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Gingrey's office did not return a voicemail message.
