Repub walk on Contempt of Court vote for Miers and Bolton
Few Republicans were in the chamber after House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, led a walk-out off the House floor in protest of the vote.
Boehner and other Republicans said they believed the House should instead be voting on a terror surveillance bill to renew a law that is set to expire Friday.
"We will not stand here and watch this floor be abused for pure political grandstanding at the expense of our national security. We will not stand for this, and we will not stay for this, and I would ask my House Republican colleagues ... let's just get up and leave," Boehner said.
You have to admire the hypocrisy of politicians. That they can stand up and say crap like this with a straight face is amazing.
This same dolt sponsored, debated and voted for H. Res 611 to impeach Clinton (which I think the SOB deserved) but a vote on contempt of Congress by two White House officials is not important? I cannot help but wonder what would have happened if the Dems would have walked off the floor during the impeachment vote. The yellow streak on the republicans is showing through more and more.
