House Republicans Walk Out

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

This is quite interesting.
What I find most interesting about it is that Rep. Boehner initially says that “in other words, we have time on the calendar for political grandstanding” …  But, isn’t a walkout essentially political grandstanding?
