Alternatively 2006 Newt finally gave Clinton the CR he demanded, during the last of a number of shutdowns (it was the third) . This was after lots of beatings by media and entertainment on congress and esp Newt and House members got lots of angry phone calls. There was the joke about him doing it all over his seat on AF1 to that funeral.
More insulting all those Fed employees got back pay for the three weeks, and that four week of the blizzard. It cost a bunch extra $$$
On Rush AM this was spun as a huge success. Rush never recalls those details though.
But it was equivalent to Bohner passing Reids CR 'clean' after a shutdown of some time. But dont worry as that would be later spun as a victory too by Rush I am sure, if that was the way it goes.
There was no FNC or internet in those days though as there is now. Obama and Reid taking a apparent hard stand make it suspenseful for sure.
Sorry , it was 1996
