Rush Holt D-NJ just used the word TREASON on the House floor

[Gloria]

Describing the dangers to revealing Plame's identity....danger to all she knew, anyone she had lunch with, governments now thinking anyone she had contact with was fraternizing with "a spy."

He's a bit nervous....I wonder why!!


The chamber is empty, Inslee is at the front podium....this is a conversation amongst a few Democrats.....not sure if it's the same group who was doing the Iraq war get togethers after hours....

1. Iraq Watch is back?

It was Inslee, Abercrombie, Delahunt, Sheila Jackson-Lee on occasion and somebody else I think. Awesome tv viewing. Our congress people really sticking it to Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of the criminals. We need it back now more than ever.

2. That's What This Looks Like

Someone else posted Inslee was speaking on the floor. I popped on and thought this was part of some appropriations bill, but then after Hinchey spoke and I listened...I saw what was going on here.

Right now Diane Watson is up speaking. It'd be great for DUers to tune in...email their Democratic representatives and make this show a regular feature on the House floor. Gingrich did this effectively before '94...this is one of his tricks that we should use.

4. Treason is EXACTLY what the whole Bush administration has been doing

all along.

They are loyal only to their vision of fascism, not to the American people who believe they live in a democratic republic.

5. My Congressman, Yeah!

One of the best going.

If the Democrats had listened to him about paper trails on voting machines we might be bitching about President Kerry today.

[calimary]

8. Well, I just called your congressman and said BRAVO!!!!

Then I told him to keep it up, because we haven't heard the word "Treason" used nearly often enough. Nor have we heard the word "LIES" and all its derivations used often enough. Then I said I was going to call MY congressman and urge his support of your guy. Mine is Henry Waxman, and when I called, the staffer said Waxman is, indeed, fully behind Rush Holt, as he should be. AND he also signed John Conyers' letter! TWO good ones. And there are more.

[manic expression]

6. He's doing us in NJ proud!

Go Rush!

7. And I hear Joe Biden sprained his ankle

running around the Capitol trying to find a Republican who'd demand that he apologize and distance himself from Rush Holt's remarks.

10. He wants to unite America, you know

9. I was listening

been awhile since I've sat and actually listened to every word. I was shocked, shocked and satisfied that it was finally being discussed this way.
