[House Atreides]

I do NOT believe he “FORGOT”!

[JonPreston]

He had one job to do.

[napscoordinator]

Daniel Webster! Ugh. My representative. I was annoyed that Anthony Sabatini tricked Webster and will now run for his seat in primary. Sabatini told Webster he’d only run if he retired. Oops. Now I’m glad. Sabatini has a future in national politics.

[cutty]

GOP vote managers asleep, too?

[austinaero]

So they can’t do their jobs even on the most basic level. They need to be voted out. Oh but they would have voted “no” - uh huh, sure

[albie]

This ranks up there with “we have to pass it to read it”

[Old Yeller]

That’s a new one. A new way to describe being bought off.

[blueyon]

Then do the vote again

[DoodleDawg]

I swear Congress if full of flaming idiots.

[Roccus]

Whaddaya expect?!?!?!?!

They’re both POLITICIANS ain’t they?

Totally useless bags of goo.

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s the Steve Martin joke about earning a million dollars and never paying taxes — when the IRS shows up, just say “I forgot.”

[high info voter]

NO HE DIDN’T “FORGET”....HE’S A RHINO!!

[ptsal]

“Forgot”.... cannot believe that one.

[Flavious_Maximus]

It’s the job of the Whip to tally the votes. Where the hell was Scalise?

[Spktyr]

“Forgot.” Yes.... Wonder how much he got paid or what he was threatened with to ‘forget.’

[Psalm 73]

“The dog ate my proxy vote, Mrs Crabtree...”

[stockpirate]

I call BS, he had to be on the take.

[airborne]

I thought California Republicans were just Democrats who couldn’t win in their own party.
