If you are looking for all the most compelling elements of political theater, then trust me nothing will suit you better than Rep. Anthony Weiner’s outburst on the House floor on Thursday night, as it was filled with drama, action and anger, cutting the long story short, it had all.
During his long stretched and radiating debate, Anthony Weiner shouted, pointed, flailed but the best moment arrived when he criticized the opposing party. Anthony Weiner said “”its Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans rather than doing the right thing on behalf of the heroes”.
But unluckily for all those cops and firefighters who were the first responders at the tragedy of 9/11, the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, that was brought up under special rules and regulations and required a 2/3 majority to pass, has been disproved as 12 Republicans, including Rep.
Lamar Smith who commented it as a $8.4 billion sludge fund paid by taxpayers that is open to waste and fraud, voted against the bill.
Although, Anthony Weiner completely and, enough smartly, landed the burden upon the very shoulders of the Republicans with his red-faced out-bursting comments at Republican efforts to block the bill giving aid to World Trade Centre first responders on Thursday 29th July, 2010.
However, the full story recommends that both parties, Republicans and Democrats, are equally responsible for that the bill to help 9/11 first responders didn’t pass and, I guess, that’s the only reason why only 11 percent of Americans have confidence in Congress.
