There's a page missing.

Don, WA   October 29th, 2009 6:50 pm ET

Robert -- Palm Desert, CA   October 29th, 2009 7:00 pm ET

Let me be clear, when this bill is edited down to twenty-five words or less, the Republican caucus will peruse it - provided, we are given at least twenty-five weeks to fine-tooth-comb-it.
