“The C-SPAN cameras were gone and the microphones were off, but that didn’t stop a small group of Republicans from taking over the House floor after the House adjourned for five weeks to attack Democrats for leaving town without doing something to lower gas prices.”

They are demanding an emergency session to address the energy issue. The need to drill our own energy.

Somebody please make a list.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Call a special session, George.

Bring back dueling to DC!

Good idea. Because no matter who is on the losing end of the duel, the country still wins.

Now this is funny.

Bizarre Scene on the House Floor
UPDATE 2:40 PM: Capitol Briefing will admit to never having seen anything remotely like this in 10 years of covering Congress. As “The Phantom Session” continues, the chamber is packed with tourists, and the line to get in the galleries stretches down the stairs inside the Capitol. What appears to be an entire troop of Boy Scouts is sitting in the chamber. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) apparently went to the airport to go home but then turned around and came back. He walked into the House a few moments ago wheeling his suitcases behind him, prompting a huge round of applause and high-fives from his colleagues.

Democrats face a dilemma here. The longer this goes on the more attention it will get. But the last thing they want to do is turn Republicans into martyrs by having the police force people to leave. The GOP would like nothing more than for tourists to be manhandled out of the chamber (especially those innocent Boy Scouts!) and for reporters to be told they have to leave the press gallery. So don’t expect the majority to take the bait and kick everyone out anytime soon.

I’d be willing to bet that Queen Pelosi said, “Let them eat cake!” as she turned out the lights leaving the GOP in the dark! Ya gotta love this “new direction, bipartisan” congress.
