On eve of the healthcare showdown, SM silent on broken Pelosi pledge

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Nancy Pelosi has broken her promise to post legislation online 72 hours prior to votes to allow thorough scrutiny by the public, stuffing in additional content less than a day before the House is to vote on the trillion dollar monsterosity; Congressman Murphy has been silent on both whether he’ll be able to read Pelosi’s latest contribution before tomorrow’s vote and whether he condones reneging on such a crucial pledge.

Liberal blogs like Media Matters insist that it’s perfectly acceptable to sneak in additional content at the last minute, even after repeated pledges that 72 hours would be given to scrutinize bills. Of course, this is coming from the same cabal that plunged America into a protracted re-evaluation of the classification of fellatio and the definition of “is”, so we’re not sure they should be taking the lead on this one.
