Fitzpatrick Misses Swearing In

Mike Fitzpatrick, the Republican congressman who unseated Patrick Murphy in November to retake the Pa-8 District seat he lost to Murphy in 2006, missed his swearing in ceremony Wednesday.

He was mingling with supporters in the Capitol visitor center when the ceremony occurred so he took his oath there, which was of such dubious constitutionality that he  had the oath re-administered, yesterday, by the Speaker.

Fitzpatrick is being portrayed by certain media parties as being in a meeting with fundraisers when the swearing-in occurred, but that seems a cheap shot since the $30 fee that had been advertised to attend the event appears to have been for bus transportation from Bucks County to D.C.

Walk-ins were not charged.

Still, people are watching Mike.
