This is better than the white Bronco chase

“This” being the implosion of GOP unity and party effectiveness.

In a dramatic rebuke of conservative leadership, the House has defeated the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education spending bill for Fiscal Year 2006. This year’s bill, which contains one-third of all domestic spending, calls for deep cuts in critical government programs.

The vote was scheduled for 15 minutes but lasted more than a half hour. This time, the conservative leaders couldn’t twist enough arms.

They held the vote open – against Congressional rules – again and still couldn’t get enough votes to pass the deeply-offensive-to-humans spending bill (that originally aimed to raise Medicaid copay, heating oil rates, drill in ANWAR, etc). That shows a majority party in disarray. An ineffective party who can’t get their unpopular spending bill across when the country finally sees past the spin and realizes that everyone they know also hates these corrupt pigs.

Guess that’s what happens to you when you have a preznit with a 60% disapproval rating.
