GOP House Has Time To Honor George W. Bush, But Not Troops Who Caught Bin Laden

The House had time to rename this courthouse after George W. Bush
Earlier this month, the House of Representatives had plenty of time to honor Presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush by renaming a federal courthouse:

The U.S. House has voted to add the names of former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush to the federal courthouse in Midland, where the Bushes once lived.

U.S. Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, announced the passage of the House resolution redesignating the building in a statement issued Monday. Previously, the building’s official name had been the “George Mahon Federal Building United States Courthouse,” after a longtime congressman who once represented Midland.

Yesterday, however, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), announced the house didn’t have time to honor the Navy SEALs who caught Osama Bin Laden:
