Reid should have a "speed talker" read the treaty and other bills |
|
Maybe one of those folks who read the "terms and conditions" in ads....

5. McConnell did not back DeMint on this - they just got a cloture vote |

to open debate. (After Lincoln finishes her good bye speech. ) The rest of the day will be "in morning business" - including debating the treaty. The agreement (requested by Kerry was that Lugar get 40 minutes, that Kyl get comparable time, then he gets 30 minutes. )
I wonder if this is a sign that McConnell wants to show DeMint, who could challenge him, that he is the boss.

are not very good friends anymore. Since good ol' boy Jim Demint joined the teabaggers as their de facto boss you can tell it's really pissed off McConnell. Personally I find any pissing contest between these two a lot of fun.
Now if we could just get these two assholes to enter the Thunderdome. That would be some good entertainment.

10. Videotape staffers to each read a section - then speed up each section |

No one said it has to be live or at a reasonable speed.

start reading and do not adjourn until done. And don't let anyone leave the floor.

13. Exactly. The person who requests it should be required to sit there until it's done being read. |
