The Games Congress Plays

I came across the following video at hotair.  I honestly am shocked to watch what they're doing.  These are grown-ups and responsible for making laws and following them in our highest legislative body in the land.  This isn't a joke, or at least it is not presented as one (although it becomes one).  In short, they have hired a speed reader so they can follow the requirement that states an amendment or motion that is to be voted on must be read into the record.  But since the document at hand is so long, they thought it would qualify to have a speed reader do it, although no one is really serious about it, as you can tell from the congressman who warns he will cut it off after a few minutes (which he doesn't even get passed 30 seconds).  The entire event is all giggles and chuckles and then they move on.  WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO IMPRESS OR FOOL?  Seriously!
