Ok, now that i've watched it the whole Weiner thing (and the other link ML gave) I get that he's passionate...but he's still a tool.

A petulant tool as interested in scoring political points against King (and Republicans) as anything else. Notice he never criticizes his own party for implementing the procedure that required a 2/3 vote, when not doing it would have meant that the vote would have passed...
And I don't believe for a second that if that was a Republican who did that we'd be focused on their "passion."
Also, save for one caveat, that being that Congress needs to start finding ways to pass bills like this without raising taxes (even if they are just on foreign multi-national companies), the Republicans look pretty toolish on this too.
In other words, just another day where Congress earned its 11% approval rate.
