John Boehner Throws Hour Long Hissy Fit on the House Floor | Video Cafe
You know, if this had been done by anyone that actually considered voting for the bill I would actually applaud it. 300 pages of amendments the night before a vote is ridiculous.
I understand that this is typical but it is also a terrible way to make law.
While the cable news channels decided that nothing else was going on other than the death of Michael Jackson, John Boehner was on the floor of the House doing his best job to pretend he is in the Senate filibustering a piece of legislation. He was supposed to be using his two and a half minutes alloted to him to wrap up debate on the energy bill and carried on for well over an hour instead.
The entire fiasco looked like nothing less than cheap showmanship and games to me, with Michelle Bachmann for the better part of the hour in the background with the rest of the Republican peanut gallery yelling "Yeah!!! You go John!!!...Keep going!!!" every chance she got.
The party of "No" isn't too good at governing when given the opportunity, but they sure are good at theatrics.
