Was funny this morning listening to Congressmen on the TV tube saying that even though they have been voting on the bill they didn't know what was in it.

A bunch of incompetent Republican assholes!


They need to spend MORE time doing their jobs, and less time on useless legislation, less time on fake scandal hearing, less time on fund raising, and less time on vacation!
