The rush to vote on a 1,000 page bill which Sen Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) admits no Senator will have a chance to read coincides with Speaker Nancy Pelosi's 6:00 PM flight to Rome for an 8 day European vacation.
Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!Culberson made the charge on Houston's KSEV radio.
Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there's a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.
Calls to Pelosi's spokesman went unreturned.
I guess that's a good enough reason to dispense with the promised 48 hour public review by posting the bill on the internet.
