Jerry Lewis, the panels ranking Republican tried to add an energy amendment to the Interior-Environment appropriations bill designed to ease prices at the pump. Apparently, the move infuriated Obey, commenting: "We can spend time on real things, or in a playpen with Jerry Lewis. The latter doesn't interest me".

Obey went so far as to shut down the entire appropriations process, just to keep the Democrats from embarrassing themselves in front of Americans, by voting against the amendments.

America is not a Socialist country, this is why the only democrats who ever win, are democrats who SOUND like Republicans (Hello Bill Clinton - "Low taxes, Free Trade, Welfare Reform, Era of Big Government Over" - Sounds Republican - Hello Barrack Obama - "My Tax Cut is Bigger than yours, Your Health Care Plan is Big Government, Parents need to take responsibility for their kids schooling]").

Wow, I guess I'm out of touch, I would have thought that something like this would have stirred up some protest.

This is interesting, this story is popular in Digg where there's a bunch of Socialist Democrats, but not here where there's a bunch of conservatives.

Interesting.
