Anthony Weiner Rips the GOP on 9/11 Vote

So, I'm tooling around Las Vegas, running errands this afternoon, and I decide to turn on the radio.  A firy voice I recognized as Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) was tearing into the GOP on their refusal to vote for a bill that would compensate 9/11 rescue workers for a variety of health issues.  Then, the whiny voice of Sean Hannity cuts in, belittling Weiner.  Hannity is an unlikely superstar, a mental lightweight himbo in the large collection of "face-for-radio" Conservative yakkisphere.  His opinions--allegedly supplied to him by the excruciatingly unlistenable Mark Levin--are only believed by the true die-hard tea bagging crowd.  He simply has no ability to sell his message to anyone on the fence, or on the other side.  And he surely didn't convince me that there was anything wrong about what Weiner had to say.  In fact, I applaud Weiner for having the fire and the guts to say what needs to be said.  Too bad there aren't more like him in the Congress (in addition to Alan Grayson, that is).

  1. For what ever reason, the Dem's did a parlimentary procedure that required a 2/3's vote. They didn't have to do that. in addition, they didn't even get all the Democrats on board. False argument by Weiner. Nice fireworks display, though. Really shows the unhinged left.

  2. for whatever reason, no. for the reason that you cannot amend the bill yes. just like weiner said" if you think the bill is good vote yes and bad vote no. the repubs wanted to get immigration amendments into the bill which has nothing to do wirh 9/11. The great patriots wont support first responders as usual they have lots of excuses
