Pelosi And Crew Still At The Mall
And the GOP are still on the House floor, and according to Boehner, will be right up until the Democrat Convention:
House Republicans are gearing up to continue their revolt of Congress’ adjournment for at least the next two weeks – right up to the start of the Democratic Convention in Denver – according to a memo sent Wednesday to GOP members from Minority Leader John Boehner.
“Republicans will not rest until we have an honest, up-or-down vote on the American Energy Act,” Boehner wrote in the memo written by Republican leaders. “To that end, we request that you contact the Whip’s Office and indicate any time you may have available to come to Capitol in the coming weeks. We specifically request that you indicate your availability for any days during the next two weeks, August 11th through 22nd, as soon as possible.”
Boehner is still blogging the revolt (just scroll).
Some of the Democrats, while at the Mall, are suddenly changing their tunes. Apparently, after Tom Allen (D-Maine) voted to adjourn, a lot of his constituents told him they didn’t want to see him at the Mall. Of course, he could go to DC and join the Republicans in the House (without power or lights). Instead, he’s whining that Bush should call Congress back for a vote.
After he voted to go play at the Mall.
