>What congressman? (Obviously a republican)

I'd like to sell his constituents shares in an "invisble fabric" business I am considering:-)

I worked [real] late the night they had the health care vote. That vote took 7 hrs (it supposed to be 15 minutes). The Bill Lost - but as time passed, You could almost mark the times the bribes came in. This or that vote would change from against to for.

Then, I heard a tape (on msn's "Slate"). A congressman was talking to a reporter.He explained how the leadership first offered to raise a 100K for his re-election. When he refused (these are his words), they began to threaten to throw money at his opponents! Its on tape - never made it to CNN or MSNBC, but made it to slate! I guess MSN don't have no HMO doubleclick accounts:-)

Ain't the same place they taught us about in school:-)
