Subject: Senator Mel Martinez (Fla.)
I was outraged yesterday while watching the Senate.
Senator T Kennedy was on the floor offering the McCain, Kennedy Immigration bill.
Senator Martinez was presiding over the body. The C-Span camera went up to the dais, Senator Kennedy was asking a question of the chair. Senator Martinez was leafing through a magazine! He threw an answer back to Senator Kennedy as if to say, "Don't Bother Me!" Finally an officer of the Senate came out and spoke to Senator Martinez. All the while Senator Mel Martinez is still leafing through the same magazine.
A call for a quorum was called, Sen Martinez left the Chair.
This conduct is just what is shown to the American people by the Rep. Congress. This is supposed to be the greatest deliberative body in the world? The republicans show no respect to anybody. And this was to the front and center yesterday.
Thank You Senator Martinez, you put into pictures what I was having a hard time explaining!
