Rep George Miller kicking butt

"What don't you understand about being poor"

He's yelling on the floor at the Republican.

Go Miller!

3. "Up-r-down vote" "Up-r-down vote"

I love how he's been using that phrase over and over when referring to the increase in the minimum wage. As much as we've hated that, I think it's time for the Repubs to get to enjoy just how nasty it can be to have an "up or down vote" rammed down your throat.

5. Absolutely! I LOOOOVE it!

I used to hate that phrase and now I hope THEY'll learn to dislike it just as much.

4. The lines at the beginning were strong

"For ten years we've struggled to have this vote. And now we're finally going to have it.

We've had a lot of excuses why we couldn't have it.

We've had votes hijacked, and we've had votes pulled off the floor.

But we could never have this vote until today.

And now, the beginning of the hundred hours we're going to have this vote."

Lots of clapping!!

6. Wow -- I'm going to C-Span right now

This sounds too good to be missed (in case they don't do reruns later).

entertainment than much else available on TV.
