In the wee hours of Friday morning -- a few minutes into a close vote on a critical bill on the House floor -- Maryland Rep. Wayne T. Gilchrest decided to play a little joke on Republican Party leaders.
Earlier, he had assured them that he would support a $50 billion package of spending cuts. But when he strode onto the House floor, he cast his vote against it. Party leaders, who had carefully counted their votes before bringing the bill to the floor, gaped at Gilchrest.
Nobody was amused.
