What a biased subject you wrote.

Did you read what you posted, or do you rely on the fact that people read headlines, and not body text?

The article linked to states that the Speaker AND the Majority Leader of the Senate (Reid) decided together that Arlington was the more appropriate venue.

But Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said that no legislation has been blocked, and said that Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Reid decided that Arlington National Cemetery is a more appropriate venue.

You were saying??

But on Thursday, Rockefeller released a statement expressing disappointment that the legislation had been blocked by House Speaker John Boehner.

So a Republican spokesman is not to be believed, but a Democrat IS to be believed without question. Gotcha.

Hey, explain how it is that SENATOR Rockefeller was blocked in the HOUSE, exactly.

Oh, wait, there has been no bill introduced int he HOUSE yet, but one is apparently pending MONDAY.
