First this: Dems Want Issa Stripped Of Chair For Disrespect

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House… They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m…"
 ....
"Democratic aides were furious at the GOP stunt [sic], and reporters were kicked out of the Speaker’s Lobby, the space next to the House floor where they normally interview lawmakers. “You’re not covering this, are you?” complaing [sic] one senior Democratic aide. Another called the Republicans “morons” for staying on the floor."
 
"And from the 2009 archives of a highly amused Washington Post:

"By Ben Pershing | Friday, October 23, 2009

So much for a wise governing body. TD
