I just love how the Republicans are demanding this. How is it going up there? I'm not seeing much coverage from the major news outlets. Are the lights back on? Will they be in there all night?

So many questions, so few answers.

Hey Kevin - That’s a GREAT point! Just like Chavez! Priceless, thank you!

So now what? Where do we go from here? I feel like I got sucker punched. Sorry but, why did they close up shop just in time to make it for dinner?

Seems like another case of the Republicans looking at a gift horse in the mouth and then shoving a sock in it.

Call me jaded, but i think they rolled over.

Show me where I am wrong.

Fascist Speaker — Not what you expect in a fee country like America. Wasn't Dear Leader Pelosi promising the most open fair bipartisan Speakership ... LOL.

I have seen no reports on this in the nightly news and they won’t report on it because the new media exposed this.

What was your sense of things on the ground when they closed up shop in time for dinner?

Thanks for the report. The Dems don’t want to drill, fine. They’ll get drilled in November.

” They’ll get drilled in November.”

Pelosi won’t, they will be cheering for her and re elect her in a landslide, she’s from San Francisco.

With this heavy handed tactic, Nancy Pelosi may well have handed the 2008 election to the Republicans. I don’t think the mainstream media can ignore this for long. Bloggers are all over this and they will eventually have to address it especially if the President calls Congress back into session. Here’s hoping.

Do any of the Republican members who were there have cell phone cameras? And if so, did they use them? There’s always YouTube...hehehe.
