[berni_mccoy]

Now, and only now, is the matter is resolved.

[ddeclue]

1. Go sit in the corner young man - you are on a "time out"..

:eyes:

not even a real slap on the wrist.

[Bluzmann57]

2. They're going to a yea and nay vote

But it will likely pass right along party lines.

[Renew Deal]

3. The vote hasn't been completed

[berni_mccoy]

8. Sorry, the speaker called it for the ayes. I posted before Boner called for a count.

[liberal N proud]

4. Wash our hands of this

[hwmnbn]

5. yep, they are having a 15 minute electronic vote...

then it's Miller Time!!

[Ozymanithrax]

6. Reprimanding Wilson is like pissing your pants in a dark suit...

It gives you a warm feeling but nobody notices.

The reprimand we need to to get him un-elected in 2010.

[GrilledCheeses]

14. haha very good. nt

[grantcart]

7. CNN reporting that the voting is still going on.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Well, not totally resolved until Rob Miller and his $1 millon+ wins his seat.

:)

[JSK]

25. Wilson has raised almost as much.

No surprise.

[BlooInBloo]

32. (shrug) Last time 'round, Miller was outspent 4:1, and barely lost...

I doubt he'll be outspent like that this time 'round, making his prospects VERY good.

[KansDem]

10. Looks like Joe is going to have to stay after-Congress...nt

[polichick]

11. This guy only apologized because the leaders made him - this was important. nt

[hamsterjill]

15. Yes it is important

It is also important to have a record that his actions have been condemned by the House members.

[no_hypocrisy]

12. What's the punishment or penalty?

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class

I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class I will not talk in class

1000 times no carbon copies allowed, to be completed before being allowed to go to recess.

[SoCalNative]

20. I think they should tar and feather him

[trueblue2007]

33. Put in in an OLD FASHIONED PILLORY. Throw rotten veggies at him

Nasty ol rotten tomatoes and other evil smelling stuff. It worked in the puritan days.

[Fridays Child]

13. What jerk off Dem voted against the resolution?

There's one nay in the Dem column. :mad:

Make that two, now. :nuke:

[Fridays Child]

18. Six fuckers.

[last_texas_dem]

19. Hodes of NH said earlier that he will vote against it

He's the only Dem I've heard who had said he would.

[Fridays Child]

22. 9 dems against/6 pubs in favor

eom

[Fridays Child]

26. No catching up, now, even if every outstanding vote goes against the resolution.

[tridim]

23. I hear ya, but it's also kind of a good thing that (now 9) Dems voted No

Now the Republics can't shout party-line-vote.

[Fridays Child]

44. true dat

[berni_mccoy]

29. 7 Repubs voted FOR the Resolution. I wonder if Wilson was one of them. LOL.

[scubadude]

30. Gee, would they be Blue Dogs? Hmmmm

I don't know that is true, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Scuba

[Happyhippychick]

16. Public humiliation really sucks, doesn't it Joe? n/t

[JBoy]

21. 4 yea's from Repubs!

[malaise]

24. Passes now

224 to 172 with 15 to vote

[Control-Z]

34. You're watching CSpan?

171-105 on my tube. I have a delay?

[malaise]

39. I was

:D

[AngryOldDem]

27. Why do this?

Because the line has to be drawn somewhere. It was total, blatant disrespect, not only to Obama, but to the Office of the Presidency.

I'm tired of hearing the apologists say it's no big deal and that we need to move on. Now that he has been officially repremanded, now we CAN move on. And if it happens again during a speech to both Houses, a censure is in order.

[cherish44]

28. No it's not resolved

He'll continue to be a bigoted asshole and I'm sure now he'll be given a hero's welcome back his racist district

[ChickMagic]

31. So, do they get to hit him in the nose thereby breaking his finger? n/t

:P

[mvd]

35. Good

It's about time we stood up to the Repukes. I don't buy the martyr or "we should move along" argument, because rules are rules, and seriously, this won't be able to be used against the Democrats at all.

[Control-Z]

36. It takes 30 seconds to

to count the verbal vote, and how long for them to push their buttons? Geez, this is taking a long time.

[berni_mccoy]

37. They are done counting. The actual declaration was suspended temporarily for another vote.

[Control-Z]

38. My CSpan (west coast/Dish satellite)

has a serious delay.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. Good.

It will now be put it into the historic record. :applause:

[Gold Metal Flake]

42. Or the histrionics record.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. That racist scum sucker is the poster boy of histrionics. n/t

[lunatica]

41. It looks like most of the Democrats have had enough

and are drawing the line in the sand. I can only hope.

So they will scream. So what. They're going to scream no matter what. It's like a parent being bullied by a toddler who throws tantrums. The best way to deal with it is to make the kid go to his room and scream all he wants and tell him that when he's done he can come out and play. The toddler very quickly gets the message that tantrums don't have the power they used to. It's amazing how tantrums sort of just die out after that.
