HOUSE REPUBLICAN WHIP
I wish I could be there! : )
The scouts were at the White House earlier today to meet the president. They are survivors of the Little Sioux tornado. After they met the president they were going to tour the Capital. Several of them are from my son’s troop.
3 dozen pizzas! This is hysterical!
Glad you guys are reporting all this. I’m in a liberal office with no privacy, and am enjoying myself immensely right now.
If everyone opens up their cell phones, the lights from the phones will help give off a bit of light - pass it on!
AND likely . . . ordered to tow the globalists’ line or else plan to commune with Vince Foster.
When haven’t they forgotten the middleclass?
i am wondering how mccain will respond to all of this. he could really energize the conservative base if he supports “this little thing of ours.”
True. LOL
Imagine Sean has his writers fact checking and getting a script ready.
Exactly!
Fox has the resources to AT LEAST get a camera outside the building.
Now we’re talking! At least camera crews will be there if the police start arresting people, as it appears from Rep Hoekstra’s blog may actually happen at some point. Can you imagine, film of a whole troop of boy scouts being arrested for wanting to watch the people’s business from the gallery of the people’s House?
Update (1:27 pm CDT) Another email from a Hill insider:
“Floor is full of staff and visitors. All cheering.
Members are even cancelling flights.
Chanting vote now.”
Update 4@1:10pm CDT An email from a Hill insider says, “We’re here for the haul. Blunt just called in to order pizza.” Nice.
Update 3@1:01pm CDT Politico reports:
Republicans are literally hugging each other on the House floor. Rep. Don Manzullo (R-Ill.), not normally known as an distinguished orator, just gave a rousing speech, accusing Democrats of stifling dissent. He referenced President John Quincy Adams, who returned as a House member after being defeated in his bid for re-election as president. Waving his arms and yelling, Manzullo brought the crowd (including a lot of staff shipped in by GOP leaders to fill up the place), and he left the floor to hugs from his colleagues. You don’t see that up here every day.
Further, see below the fold for the latest, which you won’t want to miss, from Rep. Nuñes (R-CA).
Update 2@12:47pm CDT: The New Media-savvy Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) is Tweeting and broadcasting via Qik from the House.
Update@12:17pm CDT: The Whip’s office just sent the following email:
House Democrats are no where to be found. House Republicans are on the Floor willing and ready to work to lower the price of gas at the pump.
Sean will be all over this soon!!!
I’m sure of that...this is right up his alley!!
Yes, that sounds like what the guy tried to tell me. They were getting footage but couldn’t get it out.
