Just after the vote, the Republican National Committee launched a "Fire Nancy Pelosi" website that showed her roasting in the flames of hell; the fundraising effort raised more than $1 million in 48 hours. Representative Steve Driehaus, an Ohio Democrat, took exception when House minority leader John Boehner, a fellow Ohioan, said Driehaus "may be a dead man" after he voted...
