the republican leadership assumed it had the votes.
it's hard to believe the spin they're putting out about pelosi's fucking speech.
if this is such a Big Deal, you'd think that this sort of nonsense wouldn't matter, wouldn't you?
i sense more petty self-interested games from the republicans, personally---but really in
politic terms, this is a shambles. there's plenty of blame to go everywhere. and there's no point in pursuing it, to my mind...
i suppose the more interesting question is what do you think can or should be done now?
what exactly is the problem that this doing is to be about?
how do you think things should proceed--putting aside the debacle that was the floor vote if you like.
or we can talk about that, because it just happened--i just dont think it's terribly substantive as a topic.
your call, comrades.
