C-SPAN: Jean Schmidt is presiding House and has no clue what she is doing.

Tune in.

It is hilarious. She has no idea how to manage the House.

1. Why is she doing this?

Do they take turns?

2. Actually, it's kind of painful to watch Lynn Woolsey.

Bless her heart, she needs some public speaking help (not that I could do much better, I suppose).

4. Just look at what she does and how she votes....

How they vote is really the most important thing a Rep can do...

6. You're right, of course, and it is what I consider, when I vote.

Sadly, though, perception counts for so much among an uniformed electorate. Thus, my comment.

9. You really think the "uninformed electorate" watches C-SPAN?

Right.

They don't. :evilgrin:

14. Does she appear less nervous, in other venues?

Edited on Thu Dec-15-05 11:55 PM by Fridays Child

If not, I stand by my observation. Look, she's undoubtedly a cool lady and a good Democrat but I've been thinking a lot, lately, about perception management and the right wing's grip on the media. To the extent that our side gets significantly fewer opportunities to get our message out there in uncorrupted form, I just think we have to maximize those opportunities. In that regard, I'm only saying she needs a bit of polish. But, I like her. I really do, okay?

Now quit smacking me! :evilgrin: :spank: :P

18. Jean Schmidt? You like her? "Good Democrat?"

Seriously? The woman that called Murtha a coward?

Or am I missing a huge level of sarcasm?

But then again, look at President Bush. :evilgrin:

The smacking around is kind of fun -- be a sport! :D

5. I don't agree, friend.

I think she's doing fine. Beats listening to Bush or DeLay or Frist and so on and so forth. :evilgrin:

7. Wow

I wouldn't do that if I didn't know what I was doing. No sense in making a fool out of myself. She seems to be good at doing that. I wonder if anybody has told her or if they're letting her hang on their own?

8. I know that I should have picked this up in one of my numerous Poli-sci

classes, but how do they decide who presides over the house?! You would think there would be some kind of qualifications for the job...like a passing familiarity with parlimentary procedure?!

10. It's obvious what is happening...

In a few minutes Dennis Hastert, Tom Delay and Ashton Kutcher are going to come out onto the floor and announce that Jean has been punk'd! :P

Who the hell wrote his speech? "It was a historical year for the ages."

You can't do that to the English language.

edit to add: Anyone know what that pin is he is wearing? Looks like a military award of some kind, but he's in a suit and tie, so it can't be...

16. How embarrassing

It's not like it's a difficult job. These are the phrases to know:
"Without objection."
"So ordered."
The chair recognizes (name) for X minutes."
"The gentlewo/man's time has expired."

All you have to do is know when to say each one...
