1:41PM Pelosi seeks pension vote anulled by Corbett B. Daly
WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called for House of Representatives to annul the approval in the House Ways and Means Committee of a bill that would change pension laws. Earlier in the day, House Republicans called the police after Democrats walked out of a House committee vote on pension reforms. Pelosi called it an "indignity" to call the police on the Democrats. The Democrats had objected to a procedural move by committee Chairman Bill Thomas, R-Calif., and tried to delay the vote. While Democrats were out of the room, Thomas pushed the bill through unanimously on a voice vote. A Republican staffer asked Capitol Police to remove the Democrats from the room where they had taken refuge. The Democrats left on their own. The bill approved was a substitute for the Portman-Cardin pension bill, which would alter the way companies calculate pension liabilities and would also reform IRA and 401(k) plans.

I saw/heard Pelosi on cspan yesterday re medicare saying, "The Democrats are on a roll." She kept saying "trifecta" about every other word, stumbling over it a couple of times like she'd just learned the word.

Pelosi loses yet again, and gets further humiliated by having the cops called on her by Republicans.
LIFE IS G O O D!

no..No..NO, WHAT I MISS?
Turning to C-SPAN now. Is Sheila Jackson Lee in jail?
To: Consort
I worked at Ways and Means for 6 years prior to the new chairman, in the majority. This does not surprise me one bit, as trouble, instigated by the Dims has been brewing, they have been looking for a fight for many years ,in 1995, there was "The Brawl in the Hall", when former Dim and ranking member, Sam Gibbons, threw a paper wad at Chairman Archer and then the argument went out in the hall, where a Dim grabbed the tie of a Republican. All of this was caught on video tape.
Any questions, please fire away!

I'd almost rather have cops beating up Dems be the new media obsession for the next couple weeks.
