Thanks for the link in this article to us....Tomrat,<br />Thanks for the link in this article to us.<br /><br />Here are some phrases or words you won't be hearing used in the U.S. House of representatives since House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (D-NY) has released a helpful, updated primer for members regarding their conduct on the floor and in committees. <br /><br />Members cannot not:<br />• call the President a “liar.”<br />• call the President a “hypocrite.”<br />• describe the President’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.”<br />• charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest.”<br />• refer to the President as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”<br />• refer to alleged “sexual misconduct on the President’s part.”<br /><br />However, members CAN still:<br />• refer to the government as “something hated, something oppressive.”<br />• refer to the President as “using legislative or judicial pork.”<br />• refer to a Presidential message as a “disgrace to the country.”<br />• refer to unnamed officials as “our half-baked nitwits handling foreign affairs.” <br /><br />http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0909/House_guidelines_for_Presidential_putdowns.html<br /><br />Drex @ bytestyleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
