They’re in the last throes of grandstanding on the House floor as I write this. ETA for the roll: 1:30 p.m. sharp, safely ahead of Madam Speaker’s departure time for that flight to Rome. Whew.
You can watch live at C-SPAN1. The Senate vote is tentatively scheduled for 5 p.m., but Roll Call says they may hold it open for hours afterwards in case they don’t hit the magic number of 60 on their first shot. Exit question: Does any House Republican dare vote for this crap sandwich? Phone numbers and e-mail addresses to come in an update, if so!
Update: Here’s a reassuring prognosis from Emanuel Cleaver, via Drudge: “Regardless of party, we all cast our votes with one hand and crossed our fingers with the other.”
Update: The line held. It passes 246-183, with all 176 Republicans (and seven Democrats) voting against. One Democrat voted “present.” A tribute to The One, perchance?

Does anyone else think that Pelosi’s face looks like it’s going to rip wide open?
Odd that a foreigner would want to hide the truth that he is not an American, from the ignorant voters? Nope not at all. But it’s easy to do with Democrats.

Speaker “Phulosh!t” looks like she is suffering from a Botox meltdown (just like Michael Jackson). Not only is it affecting her appearance, her mental state appears to be impacted – explain why she considers the vote a winner, when seven democrats voted no.
Any ideas what she is doing in Europe? Looking for more ways to inflict socialism on U.S.
