Rob Andrews just challenged House GOP to vote on Senate bill.

GOP is a laughing stock right now and Reid pulled a brilliant move simply adjourning the Senate.

The GOP can end the shutdown with one vote.

Oh, and if the Senate bill comes to a vote, it'll likely pass. It's just extending funding to the end of the fiscal year.

Until now.

"I didn't hear any of those speeches then, about the value of talking to one another. Not until 15 minutes until the US was to be shut down did it occur to folks on the other side to have a conversation. It's too little, too late!"

But the speakers said that they're out of speakers. Maybe another group will come up.
