House rejects timetable for Iraq Pullout

AP - WASHINGTON - The House on Friday handily rejected a timetable for pulling out of Iraq, culminating a fiercely partisan debate between Republicans and Democrats regarding Iraq’s potential pregnancy.

The Republicans, feeling pressure from their base during the onrushing midterm campaign season, reiterated their opposition to condoms and other methods of birth control.

Democratic, and Catholic, Senator Edward Kennedy, Mass., in a letter to House Leadership, spoke – from personal knowledge - to the uncertainties of the rhythm method; demanding to know whether the taxpayers were to be saddled with another unwanted Republican love-child.

In the end a timetable for withdrawal was rejected in favor of pounding away – as long as it takes – until a satisfactory climax is achieved.
