Earlier today, when I tried to get through to the Capitol switchboard (202-224-3121) I got a busy signal. Libertarian blogger Tom Knapp reports from St. Louis:
Kit Bond’s office is giving me an “all circuits are busy” response; Claire McCaskill’s number has been forwarding to a “voice mail box is full — goodbye” message all week.
I’ve heard several people say that this level of switchboard-meltdown reaction is rivaled only by the thermonuclear response to last year’s Kennedy-McCain “shamnesty” bill.
