Very, very sorry: Lincoln Diaz-Balart



Sorry, indeed. Later they had to give the sorry congressman a point of personal privilege so he could blame the whole thing on the Democrats. I guess it wasn't obvious, or otherwise it wouldn't have taken three hours to think it up.

My hat's off to Raul Martinez, Joe Garcia and Annette Taddeo for being brave enough to run for election to this legislative body.

UPDATE: This affair also has been treated on Huffington Post and on the Miami Herald's Naked Politics blog, where I put up this comment:

Was this a Democratic trap? Pretty hard to know. If yes, it was deliciously sprung on the sorry representative from FL-21. If no, the sorry representative from FL-21 was on entirely the wrong side of the issue: clear contempt of congress by Harriet Miers and Josh Bolton, and he called for the stupid procedural vote because that was the stupid Republican tactic to delay the contempt vote. Which failed: They've been voted in contempt!
