Did You Mean Funny HaHa or Funny Ironic

When the cap and trade bill passed out of the House a couple of weeks ago, many were appalled and outraged (myself included) that none of the legislators that voted on that bill (or the stimulus bill for that matter) were given the opportunity to read the bill before voting on it. Well get ready for more of the same from the Pelosi/Reid/Obama Transparency team.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that the health-care reform bill now pending in Congress would garner very few votes if lawmakers actually had to read the entire bill before voting on it.

Did you get that? If our Legislators actually did their job and read the legislation that they passed, this bill would garner "very few votes". But WAIT - there's more.....

In fact, Hoyer found the idea of the pledge humorous, laughing as he responded to the question. “I’m laughing because a) I don’t know how long this bill is going to be, but it’s going to be a very long bill,” he said.

So it is funny that we should expect transparency from the Legislative process and to expect our Legislators to read what they vote on???? But isn't transparency what Nancy Pelosi promised voters when she took over the Speakers gavel?

THIS is Nancy Pelosi's idea of transparency? I don't know about you but it sure is not MY idea of transparency......
