It was an early morning vote for the Senate, nearly before dawn as they raced to pass comprehensive health care reform so they could enjoy Christmas with their families.
The mood on the Senate Floor was relatively quiet, save for the usual hustle and bustle of Senate aides, as Senators sat at their desks to vote, which is customary for matters of particular importance.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, laughter erupted as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) mistakenly voted "nay" on health care reform. Microphones couldn't pick up what Reid was saying, but he quickly announced his actual vote of "yea" and laughter echoed throughout the Senate floor from both Democrats and Republicans, with a few Republicans even clapping.
AND
The chamber erupted in laughter several times during the vote, most notably when Reid initially cast the wrong vote and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) missed the first round of roll call, running into the chamber in the middle of the vote.
That just makes me think of that moment on Buffy when Spike is, like, "This is the crack team that foils my every plan? "
