Recovering_Democrat suggested a live thread for the "song and dance" about to take place up on the Hill, so here it is!

If you see/hear it, post it.

[michigander]

Yeas and Nays ordered.
Anyone surprised?

[NeoCaveman]

I think Steve Latourette voted Present

[My Favorite Headache]

Or hair to hell?

[Amelia]

I heard no NO's

I heard none either. And I see none being recorded. Looks like he'd have at least one friend, doesn't it?

[mhking]

A single PRESENT vote - Is this gonna be unanimous?

[Silly]

Someone: HOW MANY VOTES IS TWO-THIRDS (THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO EXPEL HIM)?

[terilyn]

[NeoCaveman]

[strela]

Sorry - maybe 5 nays.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Probably Traficant.

[Fast 1975]

Socialist voted Yea

[iconoclast]

An X-FBI agent lied through his teeth in an investigation I was involved in and can swear to it anywhere anytime.

Yeah, but as folks like Sink say "he's convicted!".

I agree with you completely pardner. But Jim T's an old-fashioned populist and totally unacceptable to most here. Dirt under the fingernails and all that you know! Ech, not fit to be in congress with the likes of the wrestling coach and the cheerleader.

"There is not one memeber standing up in support. This is totally, TOTALLY, unbelieveable"

They eat their own, and Traficant is a sacrifice to the alter of that totally inconprehensible and frightening VRWC that they're ll so scared of suddenly...RECORDED VOTE! GREAT!

I losst my AUDIO FEED ARGH!!!
