Subject: BS: Sleep over in Congress
In the all night debate in Congress over the Iraq war many folding beds were delivered to the Capitol building. Only one was used since most representativeswent home for a snooae before coming bact at the crack of dawn. Hillary was talking at 3 AM is is a bit cranky today.
One Congressman from North Carolina let slip the comment "George W Bush is a LIAR!"
well he was forced to apologize and take it back or be sensured this morning - WHICH HE DID in the most amusing fashion. On C Span he said "there are rules and protocols that prevent members from call ing resident a LIAR even if the PResident IS A LIAR!"
He went on for a half hour explaing how calling the President a liar EVEN IF IT IS THE TRUTH is simply not done on the floor of Congress. It was pointed out that that Cheney need not aplogize for telling a Senator to go fuck himself on the floor of Congress but to call the PResident a LIAR is forbidden.
'They' are calling this session of Congress the Twillight Zone and a Hollywood production.
Stay tuned... they are about to vote on the Levin ammendment to get our troops out of Iraq.
