UPDATE: Speaker Pelosi's statement:
"On behalf of the Democratic Caucus, I welcome Congressman-elect Travis Childers to the House of Representatives and congratulate him on his spectacular victory."
As I tell every new Member of Congress, 'your title Representative is your job description.' Travis Childers earned the votes of the people of Mississippi's First Congressional District because he reflects their values and shares their hopes and dreams for the future."
Congressman-elect Childers' message of positive change and bipartisan progress to create jobs, lower gas prices, and improve access to quality health care resonated in Mississippi, just as our candidates' messages did in Illinois and Louisiana in two recent special elections. For the third time this year, Democrats have turned a red seat to blue, provingthat Americans across our country want real solutions and reject Republicans' misleading and negative attacks. For the first time in more than 30 years, Democrats have won three special elections in Republican seats in one cycle."
I look forward to welcoming Congressman-elect Childers and his family to the Capitol and to swearing in the newest Member of the New Direction Congress."

Madam Speaker forgot to say one thing- "Boogie Boogie Boogie!"
ReplyDelete3 cheers for the 'Stash!
oh yeah
ReplyDeleteWow so Travis Childers is all that is missing. I guess now that he's in office the Dems can do all that stuff that they've not been able to do the last 2 years. Wow, keep believing Pelosi can get anything done.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you keep believing that Republicans can do anything right, I'll keep believing that Pelosi can get anything done.
ReplyDeleteAnd while Childers is a valuable piece of the puzzle, he isn't all that's missing. The next step is to get rid of Howdy Doody The Decider. Then we can get some things done.
Wow, you seem a little bitter.
Yes ,and the last Speaker Hastert accomplished what, other than digging this hole we have to climb out of deeper, and disgracing himself in the process?
ReplyDeleteHe did manage to lose his seat to a Democrat. Although, in retrospect, that isn't as impressive an accomplishment as it once seemed. Apparently any old idiot with an (R) after his name can do it.
