geekchickSure seems to me like forcing a debate on voting irregularities in Ohio could at least temporarily replace the hard-hitting piece about Governor Erlich's home life that's currently taking up lots of real estate on the front page of washingtonpost.com. But maybe that's just my screwed-up priorities again.
(You can watch the House debate on C-SPAN and the Senate debate on C-SPAN2.)
Edit: You're right, Ric Keller (R-Florida)! The only reason anyone in the Senate would possibly want to make you discuss seeming irregularities in Ohio is because Michael Moore told them to. Uh. Huh.
And yes, Rep. Boehner (R-Ohio) (huh huh, you said "Boehner"), they all hate the poll workers and want to make them cry. [And hey, look, it worked! Poll worker calls up to whine that the mean ol' Democrats are calling them all liars and cheaters across the board.] Oooh, and Tom "Lemme check with the FAA" DeLay talking about the Democrats "replacing statecraft with stagecraft" and their attack on the institution of our representative democracy. What a tool.

Date: 2005-01-07 08:52 am (UTC)Ah, the sweet sound of partisanship coming back around to bite you on the ass. (Er. Republicans, not *you*, but I'm sure you knew that.) I thought I saw an article the other day that said they were going to back off on that because a bunch of Republicans realized that "hey, this makes us look really, REALLY bad".
