As much as I hate saying this, this is a sensible change and one that probably avoids the type of claim that the GOP is worse than Scrooge.

Nonsense. It's the Demonrats insisting that this be done right now. The GOP would be happy to just adjourn now.

Mrs. Smith, I understand the republicans forced your husband to stay in Washington DC so late on Christmas eve that you and your baby had to spend your very first Christmas together alone.

Yes, that is right. Those evil scrooge like republicans knew that they didn't have the votes to stop this wonderful expansion of health care to each and everyone. Their delay was just a spiteful way to get revenge; much worse than when Newt Gingrich shut down the parks. But even though we miss him, my baby and I know that my husband did the right thing by standing up to those evil right wingers.

things have gone to hell in a handbasket there in dc... I can’t believe, I don’t *understand how* anyone can be worried about how this “makes us look” when, in essence, war has been declared.

I’m so angry Republicans were totally shut out, and now they’re to be concerned about everyone getting home for Christmas? I’ve been thinking about the Republicans in Miami during the recount shouting “Let us in! Let us in!!” at the cheating Dems, not giving it a rest until they were let in.
