Murtha is in charge of House and it is HOOT--lots of shouting so far. cspan1

1. Stensennbrenner is challenging him and Murtha says the Chairs ruling stands.

[rodeodance]

2. now they did the pledge (almost mocking as some Reps were shouting)

13. I would walk over take away Stennesbullshitters mike and tell him to shut up

Remember what he did to the Democrats who were having a meeting in the basement of the House.

3. That is twice in the last week I've seen the same thing

Someone challenges the minutes of the previous day's proceedings and mayhem breaks out for a few minutes. What's going on here? I really don't understand it.

[rodeodance]

4. something happened last night---someone changed vote and many are upset about it.

[ThomWV]

5. You mean around 11pm when the vote counting machine broke down?

[rodeodance]

7. I do not know--but must be--seems Hoyer is talking about votes 'changing'

[rodeodance]

6. it was a close vote-----and now the Repugs are contesting it (I think)

[soothsayer]

8. the jennings rerun is on cspan 2, too

[rodeodance]

9. Seems they are having a motion to Refer to ethics committee.

[rodeodance]

10. this matter is going to be referred to ethics committee (Resolution)

[coffeenap]

11. My response is not a logical one, it is this:

TOUGH!!! As Rep. Hoyer just said: like the last 12 years....(But, of course, the dems are facing the difficulty instead of ignoring it and pretending the opposition doesn't exist.) OK, now they are apologizing. Hmm....

12. Did I hear Murtha say earlier, "I am the Chair. I can not be challenged."

heh.

I suppose that bit of "strong executive" irony, was lost on the republicans though.
