The Countdown is On! And On, And On...

The Countdown is On! And On, And On...

Those counting down until Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 100-hour bonanza expires may have already reached zero a few times. The Republican Study Committee was happy to point out in an email blast today they aren’t the only ones growing frustrated with her legislative agenda, fixed on her own timetable, that so far has no discernable beginning or end.

Their mailer contained quotes from media reports like one from reporter Chris Wilson of U.S. News and World Report who explained on January 12, “We learned that the 100-hour clock would tick only during 'legislative hours,' when the House was actually in session and working on bona fide legislation. There went the first three hours of day 1, during which each member is called on individually to register his or her vote for the new Speaker. At an estimated 10-hour workday under Nancy Pelosi's watch, a little more division yielded us 10 days, plus three hours, plus Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 15, for an EDC of Thursday, January 18, at 3 p.m."

Pelosi’s reasoning is that her clock should only run during actual debate of legislation, which excludes all periods of business unrelated to her bills.

Kasie Hunt, of the Associated Press, said on January 13, “So While The House Had Been In Session For Nearly 56 Hours Since The 110th Congress Was Sworn In Jan. 4, The Clock On Pelosi's Web Site Suggested That Less Than Half That Time 23 Hours, 34 Minutes Had Elapsed By The Close Of Business Friday."

Yesterday, in meeting with reporters House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (Md.) said they were “far ahead” of schedule, but did not say when their 100-hour session would conclude.

Still waiting you lying bitch.
There isn't anything happening in the people's House other than your power play.
Shit, or get off the pot.
