CNN Breaking News Email: "The House has passed a stopgap bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security for seven days.

Because the Senate has already agreed to a similar measure, it heads to President Barack Obama for his approval.

Earlier Friday, a bill to fund the department for 3 weeks failed in the House."

1. what a joke

do your fucking jobs. GOP runs both houses and they can't get a simple funding bill passed on time. next time my work for my client is late i'll just vote myself a 7 day extension to get more time.

2. I've been confused on how the Senate could be the originator of this funding bill.

Did McConnell use another House passed bill as the legislative vehicle, or did the House just not object?

3. Uh, Mr Boehner, may I suggest you get some tutoring

from Ms. Nancy Pelosi, the woman who so efficiently held the position you now have as House Leader and that as such you have so thoroughly screwed up. I'm sure she would graciously give you some pointers and hints on how the job is done by an actual leader. Again, her name is Ms. Nancy Pelosi.
