Am I the only one noticing How only Dems got interrupted and told |
|
"times up?" yesterday at the joint session? I counted no less than two times a dem started speaking and was told their time was up less than 30 seconds later.
I also noticed ONLY during a dem speech, as they were starting get momentum, they would be interrupted to chastise other members for being out of their seats, etc.
NEVER was a republican interrupted while speaking for making members be more orderly in the hall.
Did anyone else notice this? vindictive bastards.

However, some members may have voluntarily scheduled very short speeches to be able to "yield" time to another member to speak longer. I did notice the calls for quiet, and to take seats, etc., but maybe that was necessary.

3. I didn't watch the debates live, but speakers are constatntly interrupted |
|
It's just the nature of the process. I don't think one side get singled out.

4. Those short 30 second speeches were the result of other |
|
Representitives yielding the balance of their time to a colleague.
Hastert, though, was right on the stopwatch. He allowed absolutely no extra time for Democrats to finish their thoughts. One time I thought he was going to do the gavel through the podium.
Poor Republicans, someone dropped a turd in their punchbowl yesterday. From the looks on Hastert's face, he didn't like the taste.
