Republican walk-out to protest vote
Democrats passed contempt of Congress citations against two Bush administration figures Thursday after the charges had spent months in limbo.
On a vote of 223-to-32 House Democrats succeeded in passing the contempt charges against White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former counsel Harriet Miers, after Republicans walked out in protest.
House Republicans staged a walk-out Thursday afternoon to protest the contempt vote and the failure by the chamber's majority members to bow to President Bush's demands on a controversial spying law.
"We will not stand here and watch this floor be abused for pure political grandstanding at the expense of our national security. ... Let's just get up and leave," Republican Leader John Boehner advised his colleagues as they dramatically left the floor Thursday afternoon.
So Mr .Boner, just why is it you never left when that prick Tom Delay was using the house day after day for pure political grandstanding.... huh? Fuck you John boy....
