This article shows that Michele’s opposition has truly been relegated to grasping at straws! I mean c’mon, the last few “stories” on Bachmann have been…shall we say….a stretch at best??? Listen, we get the point that you hate her. But your “articles” are becoming less indicative about her anitcs and more a reflection of your desperation! With opposition like this, Michele Bachmann is a shoe in for congress!

I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often. Members are called from whatever they are doing in their office — meeting with constituents, doing committeework, giving a presentation, etc, have 10 minutes to scramble from their office to the House floor across the street, so they can vote on 5-7 consecutive bills, none of which any of them have actually read (Bachmann or the other 434)

Bachmann’s staffers need to create a system so this doesn’t happen - I’m guessing most Congresspeople have a system or cheatsheet to make sure they don’t mess up.

I’m curious how often this happens in Congress. If it happens a lot, then this isn’t a big deal. If it happens infrequently, it might be kind of humorous. If it never happens, it’s downright hilarious.

Care to give some context?

…and Keith Ellison still violated campaign finance laws and failed to pay parking tickets.

Why is this newsworthy? You worked at the Legislature, right? Surely, you can remember a few times when members had their votes changed by the Speaker after the vote was closed. This is, in essence, the same thing.
