A veteran state lawmaker in North Carolina says she pushed the wrong button late Monday night in a marathon legislative session and accidentally opened up the state to fracking.
Rep. Becky Carney, a five-term Democrat from Charlotte, burst into tears after mistakenly voting with Republicans to override Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s veto of the contentious legislation.

Will she still say it was mistake when it turns out to be a good thing or will she take credit saying I voted for it.

Five feakin’ terms and she wants a do-over. She’s a candidate to replace Patty Murray in the Senate as idiot-in-residence.

I hope she will be giving the Welcome to Charlotte speech at the Democratic National Convention.

All she had to do was push the red OR the green button.
Liberals are challenged to say the least.
Really funny thing is that her vote actually made a difference.

Carney (the meat) voted against Purdue (the chicken). The vote was for fair and not for the fowl.
Hang with the weird sense of humor, y'all.
