Pelosi: Despite Reports, A Recess Delay, And August Health Care Vote, Still Possible
Politico reports that "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi swatted away a [ummm, Politico] report -- put out by a Republican staffer -- that there would be no floor vote before recess."
As I noted when I flagged the original, unconfirmed report, the news wasn't officialized by leadership--which is still suggesting that a recess delay is possible. But absent signs of significant progres...well, it's Wednesday, and the House is set to adjourn Friday.

I wish she could swat away Politico, period.

I think a catapult would help in getting the Politico the appropriate distance away from Washington... Or one of those Saturn V rockets...

Last summer Repubs demanded Pelosi keep the House in session and held their political stunt candlelight vigils yelling "drill baby drill!" to the empty gallery.
This year, a non election year, they'll probably squeal like stuck pigs if they're not allowed to have their month long vacation while real legislation that'd actually help the vast majority of Americans hangs in the balance.

Hey that was a freedom fighting event. Only true patriots would understand it. Meanwhile, ,why not put the Blue Dogs to rest?

If by freedom fighting you mean keeping us chained to countries who don't like us very much for energy needs then yes, you're right!
