There was no "close vote." It's OK, ian. You can admit that you misread OW's post and then made some stuff up in your comment. You can admit that banning lobbyists from the House gym is the your party's idea of "reform." You don't have to be embarrassed. However, most people would be.

I just assumed this was about the close vote on the floor about a similar bill that barely passed yesterday.

There was no “similar bill.” There was no “close vote.”

House Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier (R-Calif.), who was to unveil a draft of the full lobbying reform package yesterday, instead announced it was not ready. Dreier did press forward with a change in House rules that bans former members who have become lobbyists from the House floor and the House gym. It also strips lobbyist spouses of current lawmakers of floor and gym privileges.

Wow! That’s some re-freakin’-form, ain’t it?

Hey! why don't you wait until I'm out of office before you start making these changes?!?" What's the point of running for Congress if you can't take advantage of the perks???...such as being picked by a lobbying firm for 10 times your Congressman salary just for promising to vote a certain way on crap like the Environment, Health Care, Social Security, and a little war here and there.

Denial sometimes makes an intervention necessary where the addict is confronted by his peers and forced into detox. The cheap money addicts are no different. If they don t voluntarily submit to detox, the voters will intervene in  06.
