I'd settle for this too. On a trampoline, doing handstands, gymnastic tumbling, whatever.

Sen. Tom Coburn has just demanded that the Senate clerk read the single-payer amendment offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders -- and it's 767 pages.
Typically, Senators offering amendments will ask for unanimous consent to avoid reading the entire meausure, but all it takes is one Senator to object to demand its reading, and Coburn objected to Sanders attempt to dispense with the reading of the amendment.
To give you a sense of how this could delay things, it took the Senate clerk 18 minutes to get through the first 6 pages of the amendment, which were the table of contents. At this current pace, it will take 38 hours to get through the entire amendment.
You can follow along with the amendment here.
UPDATE: The body of the bill seems to be going faster than the table of contents, but it still looks likely to take at least 12 hours at this pace

Heard this earlier today when I was away from the computer and honestly laughed out loud. Thank you Senator! This is what you are paid for and you sure are coming through for us!
Now to get my Senators to join you, they are good men but I’m terribly ashamed they didn’t join immediately.
oops...ammendment
Yep..like they did with Corburn earlier...but they’re all still chatting so will see when it’s our turn.
Way to go Tom, the good DR. from Oklahoma. You have to force them to read it and after every change they make I would make them read it again!!!

““naked c-span”?”
Think of Barney Frank and your idea becomes horrific.

Durbin states now that “a senator has the right to withdraw his ammendment before action is taken.”
However can he do so before it’s completely read? Hummm
Great job! Make those liberal sumbitches pay for this perfidy. Make 'em squirm.
Senates business done for the day. Hopefully both sides will address the reading of the ammendment issue tomorrow...they’ll have time to lock and load now.
Will they force them to resume reading the amendment? I hope so...

She could make me write bad checks.
First time I saw that flick, I turned to my buddy and said, “I’d never get close enough. My **** would explode like a cheap novelty cigar.”
 This is like Buford Pusser putting the judge’s office in the men’s room.Yeah, that was one of my better pranks. |
If you want off my ping list get over it!
Sure hope Tom forces reading of the whole 2800 page mess. A pretty effective tactic, in my humble opinion.
Why would I want off the best PING List on the whole damn internet?
That’s what I’m talkin’ about. :’) Oh yeah, and this is what justiceseeker93 referred to in another thread. :’)
