House Dems Moving Goalposts

At The Influence Peddler

The incoming Democratic leadership promised a fast start to the new Congress, with an ambitious '100 Hour' agenda. They then restated that they didn't actually mean the first, you know - 100 hours, or anything. They meant the first 100 legislative hours - a period that could stretch over a number of weeks, actually.

Now, they further clarify that they don't really mean the first 100 legislative hours - they mean the first 100 legislative hours not counting the new House rules package...

Update: Richard E. Cohen looked ahead to the new House with comparisons to the Republican House elected in 1994 and lead by Newt Gingrich.
