GOP lawmaker distracted by Facebook accidentally OKs Calif. budget A Republican lawmaker accidentally cast his party's first vote for the California budget in years because he was distracted by Facebook. Assemblyman Scott Wilk was the sole Republican to vote for California's record $117.5 billion spending plan Monday. The Santa Clarita lawmaker later clarified he accidentally supported the bill in the Capitol while opposing it on Facebook. He posted on Twitter "My wife is right -- I can't multitask!" California's budget is being negotiated between Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic legislative leaders. They have yet to reach a final deal. Wilk's blunder won't show up on the official legislative record because the Assembly allows lawmakers to change their official votes. He did so after session ended, receiving applause from fellow Republicans and boos from Democrats.
Voting no on everything yet never coming up with alternatives of their own is why voters decimated the state Republican party. Well, that any being transparently dishonest shits.
In other news local Republican Congressman Daryl "Benghazi" Issa got thrown out of his own Benghazi hearing (which wasn't actually investigating anything and instead was just used by Republicans to pretend there was something to investigate) for conduct unbecoming of a member of congress. The man is an ass clown and I can't believe local idiots keep reelecting him.
I'm sure one of the old-timers said "remember the great food we had at the club meetings during Blowjobgate? Man, that was a great party, we should get another one of those going". Then the freshmen got jealous, and had to prove themselves. Then, bam, Benghazi hearing.
Anyone else remember the failed attempt at comedy that was Woops! Watching Republicans try to run government is more or less exactly like watching that show was.
