House votes on bailout bill

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

We started watching at around 12:30 and missed the morning debate. If Ron Paul spoke, we sadly missed it. We’re watching on c-span.org—this time it’s working. They’ve started voting right now!

Pelosi didn’t give the mad hatter speech this time.

65-23!

77-30!

93-36!

…somebody did a real evil laugh on the floor. We’re not sure who.

111-43…

…that same evil laugh. Twice more. Now a female evil laugh.

7:30 remaining and the vote is 121-57.

160-83 with 4 mins to go… and our c-span feed just died. The tubes of the Internet are getting clogged with all that new monies.

We’re back, 188-104 with 2 mins to go.

196-116 with one minute remaining…

People are clapping, it passed. We’re all doomed now kthxbai.

P.S. Gavel came down, 263-171.
