Appalling behaviour on the floor of the House today

[Horse with no Name]

Did you hear those Corporatist Obstructors keep referring to Spkr Pelosi as MISTER Speaker. :mad:

[karlrschneider]

1. Not to defend a Repug but it's protocol if the person sitting in the Speaker's chair

is a gentleman. ;-)

edit: or even if he isn't one. :D

[Horse with no Name]

2. Wasn't Nancy in her chair?

Steny was on the floor?

[EFerrari]

4. She had surrogates in, on and off.

The gender confusion is sort of great, in a way. :evilgrin:

[Kurovski]

17. Take it from me...

gender confusion can be TERRIFIC!

*Ah yes, and the AGENDA just keeps rolling along. Heeheehee...*

[EFerrari]

LOL!

You know it, baby. :hi:

[POAS]

6. The honor of

presiding over the House is rotated between the members of the majority. In fact it is only on rare occasion that the actual Speaker occupies the chair.

Most of the time they are in committee hearings or attending to administrative matters.

[karlrschneider]

7. I think she was some of the time, but I don't know exactly when.

In the Senate, the person up on the dais is always "Mr. President" (I can't remember ever seeing
a female seator presiding)
:-)

[Mr. Ected]

8. So Funny To Hear the Hannitys of the World

Condemn liberals for their disrespect of B*sh, leader of our War Machine.

But in the same breath call Obama "Osama" and Speaker Pelosi every name in the book.

[karlrschneider]

11. HAHA....so true. Welcome to DU!

:toast:

[Mr. Ected]

12. Love This Board

I have nothing meaningful to contribute, but I love it anyway.

[Horse with no Name]

14. Yeah me either

But I am persistent!

[Mr. Ected]

18. I Remember the Day Calvin Coolidge Said:

Nothing in the World can take the place of persistence. Talent
will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with
talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a
proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The
slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the
problems of the human race.

OK.  I can't really remember that day.

22. I love the quote..even if it isn't personal recall, Welcome!

[ms liberty]

27. Welcome to DU, Mr. Ected...

And I'm scoring youor with a 10 for the quote, and another 10 for your presentation of the quote! Very amusing!

[kikiek]

23. Some famous guy said something about a splinter and a log once. Those Hannity's

of the world never seem to remember it. Welcome to DU!

[newyawker99]

26. Hi Mr. Ected!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Horse with no Name]

9. Okay--I'll let you off the hook for defending one of the cretins

:thumbsup: If you let me off for not knowing why they were doing that.:D
OT...are you all getting snow tonight? We've had some flurries along the Red River.

[karlrschneider]

10. LOL! Deal. We got about 2/10 inch this morning, might get a bit more

by morning but not enough to be a bother. :D
Colder'n a witches tit, though. Gonna be 12 by dawn. Brrrrr

[kikiek]

13. Sounds archaic needs to be changed. Silly it would have to be officially changed. Personally I

would expect someone in Congress to have the sense and respect to do so without having to be told. Unfortunately I do know better. What a sad state our country is in.

[EFerrari]

3. It was funny when one gentlemen referred to the Speaker as

"Miss Speaker" because he was trying hard to be korrect.

:rofl:

[Horse with no Name]

15. ....

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

16. "OMIGOD, IT'S A WOOMAAN! Please God, don't let me blow this!"

:rofl:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

19. "Madame Secretary" is incorrect, is it not?

When referring to Condi Rice, since she's single.

But none of those idiots can spell "Mademoiselle" -- they just think it's a magazine and not a word meaning "Miss".

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

21. The wingnut Congresscritters are already English impaired.

Listening to them trying to address Nancy is, well, simply exquisite.

:rofl:

[karlrschneider]

24. Technically, yes...but "Madam" might be appropriate

:D
:rofl:

[Horse with no Name]

25. Well you know those darn Republicans

They ALWAYS Mis-speak.;)

[sutz12]

5. There is often someone sitting in for Nancy...

She may have been off on some committee somewhere or something. You never know.

Darth Cheney is the President of the Senate. How many times do you think he presided?

[PDittie]

20. Misogyny is really abundant lately

The Amanda Marcotte/Melissa McEwan sacrifices, the Hillary hating, this BS.

It's going to get a lot worse for the good old boys, and they will be flinging every single piece of poo they can get their hands on.
