I get quoted

This morning I was reading Slate’s Today’s Blogs like I always do and what do I see but me, getting quoted from this post. Here’s what they said:

Workin’ man blues: The Politico reports that Congress is fitfully adjusting to their newly instituted five-day work week, but conservative bloggers reserve little sympathy for the lawmakers’ complaints.

“When the Democrats took the majority this year, they swore to set a new tone of hard work in Congress by demanding a five-day work week while in session,” writes conservative Ed Morrissey at Captain’s Quarters. “… Nine months later, while overdue appropriation bills still have not seen the House floor and the 110th Congress acquiring a do-nothing appelation, Democrats have begun to rebel against the schedule”

Citizen Jake also takes a swipe at the supposed do-nothing Congress, noting, “You would think that politicians that are smart enough to get elected to Congress would be smart enough not to complain about having to work a 5 day work week.” Righty American Pundit is gleeful that Democrats have less time to spend in their districts: “You may remember that the Democratic House instituted 5 day workweeks when they took over Congress, apparently in an attempt to get more done (yeah, that worked). …Well, there’s apparently an ironic consequence of ‘working’ more: Representatives not having time to actually visit their constituents.”

Cool. Feel free to quote me anytime.
