Comedy Gold: NC Demo Rep. pushes wrong button and legalizes fracking in North Carolina

The vote was to override Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s veto of a bill legalizing fracking. Democratic Rep. Becky Carney pushed wrong button and cast a deciding vote to override the veto. She asked for a 'do over,' but Republicans declined.

Rep. Becky Carney, a five-term Democrat from Charlotte, burst into tears after mistakenly voting with Republicans to override Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s veto of the contentious legislation. The measure lifts the ban on hydraulic fracturing as a means for mining for natural gas, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Carney and other Democrats asked for a do-over, as is common when a member pushes the wrong button. But in this instance, Republicans said no.

“You can’t say yesterday that you don’t believe in them and then today, have three-quarters of a million dollars being spent for you,” Obama said incredulously.

 Anthony Weiner is a misguided liberal, but he is actually pretty funny. Hopefully, we can retire him soon and he can pursue his stand up comedy career full-time.
