Q: What's 9 Members Large and Makes Mothers Cry?

A: The Republican delegation of Ohio Congressmen, who, in a display of startling idiocy, voted against "the goals and ideals of Mother's Day."

This wasn't a high-minded protest against do-nothing resolutions, no, it was more of the same, grandstanding and tactical procedures to stop votes on measures that don't mean much to the average Americans, like the mortgage relief act and the war funding bill.

So on behalf of America's hundred million mothers, we say thanks to the following:

Nay    OH-1    Chabot, Steven [R]              
Nay    OH-2    Schmidt, Jean [R]
Nay    OH-3    Turner, Michael [R]
Nay    OH-7    Hobson, David [R]
Nay    OH-8    Boehner, John [R]
Nay    OH-12    Tiberi, Patrick [R]
Nay    OH-14    LaTourette, Steven [R]
Nay    OH-15    Pryce, Deborah [R]
Nay    OH-16    Regula, Ralph [R]
