DEMOCRATS IN WISCONSIN ALL GOT ON A BUS AND LEFT THE STATE!

Sounds oddly familiar:

Texas House paralyzed by Democratic walkout

With action in the Texas House brought to a standstill, roughly 50 state Democratic representatives said they would remain in neighboring Oklahoma "as long as it takes" to block a Republican-drawn redistricting plan that could cost them five seats in Congress.

"There's 51 of us here today, and a quorum of the Texas House of Representatives will not meet without us," said state Rep. Jim Dunnam, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. He spoke with reporters outside a hotel in Ardmore, Oklahoma, where the Democrats have holed up.

The walkout has paralyzed the state House for two days. In Austin, Republicans exhibited a deck of cards bearing the lawmakers' pictures -- similar to those issued to U.S. troops to help identify fugitive Iraqi leaders -- and milk cartons bearing the images of the missing lawmakers.

RUSH: So, can the kids in Wisconsin still get their necessary free lunch?

RUSH: So what are the kids eating?

RUSH: Someone needs to tell these union leaders that elections have consequences.

ME: Someone needs to tell these union leaders that WALKER WON!
