Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), the longest-serving woman in the House: “Today I urge my colleagues to vote ‘no’ on the Andean trade agreement, H.R. 1830, which, strangely, will be brought up under suspension -- which means no debate and no amendment. I thought voters put new Democratic leadership in charge of this House to stop deals such as this being done in this way.” (House floor remarks, 6/27/07)

Mark's Remarks
The congresswoman would not be surprised maybe if she actually stayed awake during most of her terms or showed up to work. This shows maybe she doesn't know Bullwhip Pelosi near as well as she thought she did. What, she thought there would be transparency? The only transparency lies in the ease with which you can see through their bull**** promises.
