Congressmen Admit They No Longer Remember Which Health Care Bill They Are Voting On:

A new wrinkle has complicated the eleventh-hour attempt to pass a health care reform bill in Congress as a growing number of congressmen came forward today to admit that they no longer remember which bill they are voting on.

"Maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I can't for the life of me remember whether this is the bill I liked or the bill I despised," said Rep. Rand DeVane (D-OH). "I'm only human."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was reportedly working around the clock to remind congressmen which bill they were voting on, but according to one aide, "Quite frankly, she's not entirely sure, either."
