Re: (Republican) House

<Those Rs go cheap, don’t they?

One HELL of a lot cheaper than Democrats, apparently, if you can buy them with pizza and chicken (the trial lawyers have to cough up millions in hard cash), but the limits on pizza do seem a little ridiculous.

And what the heck are “charities” doing wining and dining those House Republicans?

Oh, all PROPER charity is controlled by the government now. I was given to understand that you were thoroughly in favor of this.

The actual rules changes.

Seriously, note that the Clinton News Network does not actually say that the ethics changes were the REASON that the Democrats tried to kill the rule changes. Hey, they eat pizza too. And I can see a few other items on this list that could easily piss off the Democrats, although that would be a convenient excuse to make the Republicans look bad. As one example, the rule on dynamic scoring on the Ways and Means Committee reports would be a top candidate for Democratic ire.
