This struck me as a bit strange:
As Democrats congratulated themselves on the House floor last month for passing a controversial climate and energy bill, Republicans let out a cheer of their own, chanting, “BTU! BTU! BTU!”
The acronym was chilling for some Democrats who remember the infamous 1993 BTU tax debacle that quickly became a code phrase for forcing members to cast a vote that amounts to political suicide.
Bear DNA! Volcano monitoring! BTU!
Who can follow all of this stuff?
They’re not booing, they’re chanting “BTU”Post + Comments (115)
