Speaking yesterday on CNN PA Senate candidate Pat Toomey said he’s so hardcore against government spending he actually led a filibuster … on the House floor, um … where there’s no such thing as a filibuster. They only do that in the Senate.
What was sort of weird on this one is that our reporter Megan Carpentier rung up the Toomey campaign. And rather than saying he misspoke or something like that, they insisted that they’ve been calling what Toomey did a filibuster for a long time. So basically they’ve created their own little Toomey-world in which this really was a filibuster. And we should respect their indigenous Toomey culture and not try to impose our Western, journalistic norms on it.
Viva Toomistas!!
