Congressional Reporter Tweet Of The Night
From Politico Congressional Reporter Ginger Gibson:
I'm not over exaggerating when I say I can smell the booze wafting from members as they walk off the floor.

To be honest, you’ve probably got to be hammered to watch the House floor proceedings at the moment as well.
Well, in all honesty, they were actually playing a game where you had to take a drink every time somebody said the word ‘socialist’.
Or chug a bottle for every “It’s for the children”.
Here’s a challenge.
Take a shot everyone someone mentions the word “Obamacare.”

As Shaw said, alcohol enables parliament to do things at 2:00 am which no sober person would do at 2:00 pm.
I wonder if we might all be better off if the aroma wafting up her beak was that of good weed!
@Ernieyeball:
It worked in the Ali G movie.
The whole House/Cruz situation reminds me of the scene in Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke where they are in a car full of dope smoke and Chong asks, “How’s my driving?” and Cheech answers, “I think we’re stopped.”
@Doug Mataconis: When Obamacare is enacted and becomes more popular the Repubs will change the name so you won’t have your delicate ears assaulted by the sound of the name.
Here’s a drink game I’d participate in: Each time a House Republic Representative is repatriated to North Korea I’ll toast the president of North Korea.
@Doug Mataconis: “Here’s a challenge.
Take a shot everyone someone mentions the word “Obamacare.””
And for teetotalers, there’s an alcohol-free version – wait for 2020, and take a drink every time a Republican uses the term ‘Obamacare’ (rather than ‘the Heritage Plan’, or some such crap).
