Don't get between Weissman and his vacation time

This is what is known as an over-reaction. The Denver Post reports:

But in order for the House to take more than three consecutive days off — adding in the weekend, the break would amount to four days — the Senate also has to approve the resolution. And the staid members of the Senate thought it was best to keep lawmakers' noses to the grindstone, crushing the resolution 10-24 on Wednesday.

Which, you could say, didn't sit well with Weissmann, who fumed on the Senate floor and proclaimed — he says jokingly — "Your bills are dead!" Weissmann later apologized for the statement and said it was inappropriate.

Of course it seems that most of the Senators present, notably Scott Renfroe, weren't in the joke and viewed it as more of a strange outburst from the Democratic Majority Leader.

Maybe those extra two days off will do him some good.
