[Cerridwen]

:rofl:

:D

And, one of the "punk staffer's" 4-year-old daughter, Collette.

Awwwwwwww.

:D

staffer's daughter when asked a few days ago where her mom was replied, "She's at work making sure everyone can see a doctor." <-----paraphrase

I'm liking Hoyer more and more.

[Webster Green]

1. He just gave a really great speech!

Hoyer spanked the thugs pretty good just now. :thumbsup:

[MajorChode]

2. I saw the speech, it was the best I've seen in a long time

He reminded Republicans about their doom and gloom predictions prior to the vote on Social Security, Medicare, and Clinton's 1993 budget. It's a shame that all of the GOPhers don't have the character to be moved by it because it was most certainly a moving speech.

[Bolo Boffin]

3. I thought that's what he said!

:D

[Cerridwen]

4. It was a very nice speech.

He even reached across the aisle to their "punk staffers."

:D

[monmouth]

5. He was excellent, I rarely listen to speakers, their voices drive me

up a wall, but he was wonderful.

[Cerridwen]

6. Ha! I thought that was just me.

Even when I agree with them it can sometimes be difficult to listen to them.

12. Comment last week by Boehner (I believe)

about the finance committee staffers working on reform. Told the bankers they didn't have to respect "little punk staffers."

(GO JOHN LEWIS right now!)

[senseandsensibility]

14. Thank you

for clearing that up. I'm for giving it back to them whenever possible. LOL.

[cilla4progress]

15. You bet!

:hi:

[Cerridwen]

16. Thanks, cilla4progress.

I usually try to watch my threads but I got distracted. That's for providing the context.

:hi:

[johnaries]

10. He gave a great speech! I also loved the Rep who said GOP now meant

"Grandstand, Oppose, and Postpone!" I missed his name, but he was right on!

[Cerridwen]

13. Oh yeah, that's right. I just heard that.

My video is minimized when I'm typing here so I didn't notice who. My video is muted when the repubs talk. Ewwwwww.

[cilla4progress]

11. THAT's who it was!

I heard it (listening to the floor speeches), and was dying to know who said that. I thought it was very classy.

GOD I'm proud to be a Dem.

[etherealtruth]

17. Bless his heart

... and the hearts of all of those "little punk staffers"
