OK, the GOP's playing the conga-line game to delay the vote. |

The assholes have unanimous consent to extend their remarks expressing their batshit opposition to this bill.

2. Jesse Jackson Jr should tell them to shove it and note that all Republicans are in opposition of the |
|
bill and will be continued to be ignored for the rest of their careers.

6. You're watching C-SPAN, right? |
|
This is nothing more than a delaying tactic - all the Rethugs are getting in a big line behind the mic to ask the speaker for unanimous consent to revise and extend their remarks to express opposition to the bill. It's your basic "We're being obnoxious because we can" tactic.

8. It means the Republicans have lost again |
|
You're watching a basketball game and one team is fouling the other over and over again, hoping that the shooter will miss one or both free throws, and they can come back down and get a 3-pointer. They miss, of course, and have to foul again. It's the last minute, and a 5-point game suddenly becomes a 10- or 15-point game. This is the House of Representatives equivalent.

Should we make this part of a drinking game?
Every time the GOP does a conga-line, we take a drink?
