PELOSI LOWERS THE BOOM
Wed May 16 2007 14:43:59 ET

After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.

The Democratic Leadership is threatening to change the current House Rules regarding the Republican right to the Motion to Recommit or the test of germaneness on the motion to recommit. This would be the first change to the germaneness rule since 1822.

In protest, the House Republicans are going to call procedural motions every half hour.

1. And the Republicans said it would be "unfair" and "childish"

8. Sorry if I broke protocol - Mostly wanted to hear the scuttlebut

11. if by scuttlebutt you mean stuff he makes up himself

well okay - still he's one of the main pipes in the mighty right wing Wurlitzer organ and anything he offers up must be taken with many many many grains of salt.

I mean think this through - would anybody on Pelosi's staff leak something like this to Drudge? Not likely - the source would be a self serving GOP hack who is trying to put Pelosi in the worst possible light.

3. Drudge? Drudge? You're quoting Drudge?

If drudge told me it was raining I'd call in the dog to see if it was wet and then look out the window just to double check.

10. You're probably right. This is from Pelosi's website ...

"Under Democratic leadership, this Congress is changing the way we do business in Washington—restoring accountability and working together to get the job done. We are delivering on our promise of a New Direction for America. "
