I should also note vis a vis Pelosi: The big reason that the Food Safety bill died is that she allowed it - or wanted it - to be brought to the floor under the ‘suspension calendar’ - which means they agree to suspend some rules in order to vote on the bill.

Another attempt to jam crap down peoples’ throats without giving members a chance to review.

And Pelosi and Waxman(whose bill it was) lost

The odd thing - when Pelosi was minority whip, she knew how to count. Apparently not anymore.
