Pushing the Republican's Buttons--Literally

Carol Migden, a San Francisco Donkey, decided to cheat a little bit:


Nobody was surprised that state Sen. Carole Migden voted in favor of her own cosmetics bill. The problem was that she did it in the wrong legislative house.

Toward the end of Wednesday's floor session, Migden, a San Francisco Democrat, pushed the voting button of a GOP assemblyman who was temporarily away from his desk.

Her action violated Assembly rules and drew an angry response from Republicans.

"That behavior cannot be tolerated," said Assembly Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield. "It's unheard of on this floor, it's against the rules, and it cannot be tolerated."

Nothing like a little creative cheating and subverting the law to get a bill passed. I'm shocked that a Dem from Frisco would resort to this type of shenanigans.
