Comments on: Republicans shout down the house, McHenry spews http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2007/08/03/republicans-shout-down-the-house-mchenry-fumes-steny-makes-nice/ If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. — Samuel Adams Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:18:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Drama Queen http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2007/08/03/republicans-shout-down-the-house-mchenry-fumes-steny-makes-nice/comment-page-1/#comment-10536 Drama Queen Sat, 04 Aug 2007 03:08:00 +0000 http://www.scrutinyhooligans.us/?p=3759#comment-10536 Yeah, that's the word. Shame. On Lou Dobbs, they actually had the word in huge print overlaying the entire screen in bright yellow. It would pulse on and off (or bigger and littler) in time with the chant. I wonder which side he's on??? Yeah, that’s the word. Shame. On Lou Dobbs, they actually had the word in huge print overlaying the entire screen in bright yellow.

What were they chanting? Shame? When Republicans abused their power for years, Democrats did not turn the place into a circus (though some liontamers would have been in order). And to see Pat McHenry, perhaps the most vapid liar I've ever laid eyes on, whine in ALLCAPS... it was almost too much. What an incredible scene.
