Sound bites = official looking video, statements and such for evening news coverage, blogs, and campaigning.

Which they can do without the C-SPAN cameras. So your response makes zero sense.

And certainly they would get more coverage doing this on the floor than elsewhere. It’s a stunt.

Really? Why do you think they’d get more coverage on the floor than elsewhere?

Yes, I get your point about recess appointments. Why you think I’m interested in that since it wasn’t my original point, I have no idea.

Because when I asked why they were showing up and then not working, your reply wasn’t accurate. Now you’re uninterested. Funny.

My original point was why anyone finds this jaw dropping or unbelievable.

Oh for fuck’s sake. It’s unbeleivable that the GOP is being obstructionist in order to not cut taxes. They live to cut taxes. But not, apparently, to cut taxes on those who work for a living.

You don’t find it unbelievable. Great. Maybe you just already think so badly of the GOP that this doesn’t surprise you. I still find it unbeleiavable that they can’t even live up to their ‘tax cuts rule!” pablum because it means working with Obama and the Democrats to do so.

You’re just using the reverse of the argument of personal incredulity, and it’s just as fallacious this way ‘round.
