Tempers flare on House floor over GOP typo
By Pete Kasperowicz - 07/25/12 03:25 PM ET

Republicans and Democrats got snippy on the House floor Wednesday over a typo in a GOP deregulation bill, which Democrats have so far refused to let Republicans fix quickly on the floor by unanimous consent.

The bill, H.R. 4078, is meant to prohibit major federal regulations until the unemployment rate falls to 6 percent, but instead says no new regulations can be issued until the employment rate falls to 6 percent.

Earlier in the day, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said he would not grant unanimous consent to add "un" to the word "employment" and thus fix the bill on the floor. And Wednesday afternoon, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) indicated that Democrats were not willing yet to allow the quick fix.

House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) asked Connolly if he would object to a unanimous consent request to make the correction. Issa cast the error as a mistake made by professional staff.

1. How about unlimited regulations allowed until the GOP literacy rate is at 6%? nt

2. Fuck Darrell Issa

I would object to pretty much everything that shithead brought forward just on principle. That asshole has made obstruction his main role since infesting Congress.

4. Agreed! I wouldn't let the fuckers so much as name a post office building.
