This is all just too sick. And the point isn’t the vote, of course; but a Hill Guy makes a procedural point about the reporting.

I know this shouldn’t bother me, but it does: Brian Ross is hyperventilating here . The lede claims that Foley “interrupted a vote on the floor of the House.” But that’s not right at all. First of all, the vote wasn’t “interrupted.” Second, anyone who knows the Hill knows that votes can take 20 minutes or more, so the fact that he was doing something else at the onset of the vote, and then voted when he was finished with his sick dalliance, means nothing at all. Sounds, instead, like he made the vote.
And the line about “we are still voting” likely meant that there were a series of votes, and they were “still” having votes at the time of the conversation.
This IM exchange is sick, but it has absolutely nothing to do with “interrupting” a vote. This is a stretch, even for the current climate.
