This week's U.S. Capitol "summit" on the embattled St. Croix River bridge was not without its laughing opportunities.

Michele Bachmann. She was calling in from Iowa, where she was campaigning for president. At some point, the meeting was interrupted for a House floor vote. Quipped U.S. Sen. Al Franken (confirmed independently by three sources who were in the room), "Michele - they just called votes, you better hurry."
