Rockin' The Boat

By Philip Klein on 11.13.06 @ 11:12AM

Now I have in my head the lyrics from that "Guys and Dolls" song:

People all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat.

And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat,
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,

Sit down you're rockin' the boat.

I imagine there are some House Republicans who feel that way about Mike Pence and John Shadegg.
