Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!

Culberson made the charge on Houston's KSEV radio.

Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there's a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.

Calls to Pelosi's spokesman went unreturned.

In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted that none of his Senate colleagues would 'have the chance' to read the entire final version of the 1,071-page bill before it comes up for a final vote.

After the Patriot Act and Medicare this is highly entertaining theatre from some of the very people that referred to deliberative process as either obstruction or treason. Of course they should read the bills, but this ain't exactly new, or the sole domain of evil tyrant Obama.

If they are going to vote for it, yes. If not, no.

Yes!


Then I would spend it, regardless. ;)

Barack cranked up the "irresponsible legislation" machine about 4 weeks ago, kind of like when the orcs called for Grond at Minis Tirith...but instead of a flaming boar's head it's a trip to Europe (where the socialists we want to emulate live)
