“Wait… *how* many people were watching the live stream of the filibuster? That can’t be right…”Report
Heh, you could say the same thing about Demos in MD and a few other tightly held states.Report
“Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said he was “very frustrated” with the night’s results, after officially declaring near 3 a.m. that the bill could not be enrolled.
“An unruly mob using Occupy Wall Street tactics” derailed legislation that was intended to protect women and babies, he told reporters.”
Hmmm… either he thinks OWS invented the very idea of protesting -OR- the Democrats set up a tent city and were pooping on the sidewalk.
As much fun as assuming the latter would be, I’m tempted to think the former. What a goober.Report
-OR- the Democrats set up a tent city and were pooping on the sidewalk.
Given any sufficient large gathering of Democrats…Report
“sufficiently”
It’s 2013. Where the hell is my flying edit button?Report
Yea, but remember that Texas Dems are basically NJ Rs.
Ugh, now I’m imagining Christie pooping on the sidewalk [shudder shudder].Report
I haven’t seen such a bald-faced screwjob since Montreal.Report
You know how much Republicans disapprove of procedural tricks like the filibuster.Report
Everyone should send Wendy Davis a thank you note.Report
Absolutely. She rocks!Report

Similar sorts of shenanigans have been pulled elsewhere. This one time, in Sacramento, an Assemblyman stood on his chair to manually push the minute hand of the wall clock back as midnight approached.Report
There is no absolute midnight. Einstein said so!Report
This was Texas, so we have to ask what time midnight was in 1863,Report
Is deliberately falsifying a senate record a crime? Should it be a crime?
The senators who attempted this deception should spend a few dozen years in a cell.Report
If at first you don’t succeed, cheat.
If the Internet catches you, try, try again.Report
When I was in Texas with a few friends to watch football game (Cowboys, natch) a woman originally from England started mocking the US for its inconsistency between foreign and domestic policy. Another guy there said, “what are you talking about? It says right there in the national anthem “land of the free, home of the cheaters””. She looked at him for a few seconds uncertainly. Then said, without conviction, “no it doesn’t.”, followed by “does it?”Report
What’s with the poorly photoshopped dragon on her shoulder in the second link?Report
It’s too deep to wade across The Narrow Sea, and if you can’t row…Report
