2. Suddenly, Boehner feels qualified to lecture

the Congress on the people being the government. "The gavel belongs to noone." Trying to pee on the parade.

138. Thank you for verifying that he actually said "Democrat...

Party." Oh, yeah, so much for bipartisanship! What a jerk! And he has certainly looked pissy and less than gracious during the last couple of hours.

Edited on Thu Jan-04-07 02:20 PM by Atman "Some of us are interested in what is going on with this country." Could you possibly have come up with a more childish, ridiculous insult for a comeback? What an asshole. I just asked a question. . Oh, and btw...who the hell are you, and why is your post unnumbered and marked as the "original post?" .

but to imply that he's not "interested in what's going on with this country..." is way out of line. He's one of the most passionate posters I've read.

118. Hey, thanks Balbus

I've been a lot quicker to turn off the teevee after morning coffee, plus I moved my studio and don't even have a teevee nearby unless I bring in the little 13" job. I thought my question was valid, and since then I've even plugged in that little teevee, to boot, so I can see for myself what is going on. It just amazes me how snarky some DUers can get over the littlest things! .

94. Hastert and Foley used to let the young pages touch their gavel all the time

In fact, I think they saw it as a requirement of the job! .

I am glad they are green with jealousy they blew it for following that stupid W. Listening to Tom Oliphant on Al Franken. He said it was tacky for Hastert not turning the gavel over to Nancy.

she let's the kids really experience it. Yeah, it's really not doing the business of the nation, except teaching them that they have a voice and that they could someday be doing it for themselves, right there, in that room. :grouphug: for the New Speaker!
