DCWoody -> RE: BP Investigation Blocked By Senate (8/30/2010 7:33:20 AM)

Sanity is correct to be suspicious (it had to happen sometime). This appears to be a case of skillful political manouvering on the part of the dems, they gave the impression of trying to rush the bill through the Senate when the Republicans weren't present (fuck knows where they were, this is beyond my knowledge of the american system).
The few Republicans who were there found this highly suspicious, and objected.....note, they didn't actually object to the content of the bill, but to having it read or voted on.....on the grounds that ya can't just wait til your opponents have gone for lunch to rush something though, votes should be an accurate representation of the house, etc.
This footage is included in the video....but what isn't is that later on, when the republicans got back from wherever the fuck they were and actually read the thing, they gave it their backing.
tl;dr - story is bullshit, don't believe youtube vids ffs.
