It’s a publicity stunt since Pelosi pushed that 213-212 vote through to adjourn, but it can be a very effective one.

I'm wondering how this could viably turn out without ultimately embarrassing the Repubs. It's gonna be HARD to get Pelosi to pull the parlementary strings needed to get a proper vote on the subject. The House did get a majority vote to recess, ya see...

Exactly. It’s theater. Somebody did post upthread there may be a problem reconciling the Senate and House’s recess schedule, since the Senate’s been technically staying “in session” to block any Bush recess appointments; Dingy Harry doesn’t WANT the Senate to recess to avoid that. So we’ll see.

The problem is, it’s theater being shown to an audience (the media) that doesn’t want to watch it, and doesn’t want anyone else to watch it either.
