Is anyone watching the 'span?

[SharonRB]

Michelle Bachman and Steve King are the only ones there spouting their BS. He yields to her, she yields to him. It's nothing more than the two of them going on and on and on.

[malaise]

1. Watching now

That woman is mad.

[SharonRB]

4. They're both nuts, but

especially her. Socialized medicine? They always mischaracterize everything. It's pretty funny seeing just the two of them in the chamber going back and forth, though.

[malaise]

2. It's the Duma now

:rofl:

I can't believe this bullshit after eight years of Rushican rule.
A Dem really needs to stand up and remind them of the House 2001 - 2007.

[dflprincess]

3. I switched over at your suggestion

I think I'll go back to "ER" - but I do wonder if they'll fall into each other's arms when they finish. They're apparently kindred spirits.

[malaise]

7. It's hilarious

It's socialism. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

8. Obviously.

I wasn't really recommending that anyone watch. I turned it on to see if I could find the health care meeting from today and found this. The meeting is supposed to be on after the House, but I don't think they're ever going to leave. I think they're having their own little filibuster. Blah, blah, blah.

Oh, now the Socialism meme.

Go to Hell, Michelle. :puke:

[dflprincess]

13. I swiched back to CSPAN during the commercial

this is a hoot. I wonder how the poor stenographer is able to keep a straight face.

Both of them babbling on about how we're about to lose our freedom - where have they been.

I tell ya - they're going to jump each other when the cameras are off.

[SharonRB]

16. ROFL

They should just go get a room.

I couldn't believe it when she said the liberals don't believe in the Constitution. Where the hell has she been the last eight years?

[dflprincess]

19. If this was a SNL skit

they'd go after each other before the cameras are off... Someone send me an alert if that happens, just in case ER's not in commercial.

[SharonRB]

21. Nope -- they're adjourned now.

Finally!

[rurallib]

5. I am from King's state and so embarrassed by that.

I just crawl when I hear his name.

[Cairycat]

6. Please just remember

those two don't represent the majority of us in the upper Midwest!

[SharonRB]

9. Oh, I know.

[SharonRB]

10. The liberals want socialized medicine

STFU already!

[malaise]

12. This is fall down funny

This is 1950s cold war rhetoric. After eight years of Bushco's memos she's scraming about totalitarianism. They're socialists. 'Our side is for freedom - totally moral and ethical. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

15. They actually are cracking me up

Looking at that whole chamber and the two of them going back and forth is surreal. They should just go get a cuppa Joe and have a conversation with each other. This is just plain stupid. And that poor stenographer needing to stay there and get it all down. He's probably really pissed.

[napi21]

11. Lots of congressmen do that. I think it's because they can't get heard during the mornal session.

I'm not sure how this works, but I think they just don't adjourn the regular session, but everybody but the BS'ers go home and leave 1, 2, or 3 congress critters and one person to chair behind. They babble for hours like that.

[malaise]

14. Except that these two are clearly living in a parallel universe

This discourse is a complete inversion of reality.

[SharonRB]

17. No shit.

They're nuts.

[napi21]

18. It usually IS the nutballs that do this. n/t

[SharonRB]

20. Oh, I guess there actually are a few other people there

They're finally adjourning.

[dflprincess]

22. Probably their caregivers arrived

with their medication. Or their staff members saw what was going on and rushed over to put a stop to it. Remeber, Bachmann is the one who jumped Bush.
