Congress: "Next Window, I'm on Break"

I'm so glad the congress has taken five days off their month long vacation. Poor them. And seems Pelosi really wanted to get into that bathing suit by conceding to Bush's wiretapping bill. From NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12512991):

Congress has finally recessed for the summer, but it took an extraordinary amount of time and effort for that to happen.

The House of Representatives worked until the wee hours of Sunday morning before beginning the August recess; the issues the members faced were tough, and partisanship didn't help.

In the end, President Bush got his way on wiretapping, but the Democratic majorities pushed through their bills on energy, ethics and health insurance for children of the working poor.
