Coyote plan to capture the road runner. \n\u201cThe quickest way possible this could happen is somebody might get some help in late March,\u201d Cafero said, accusing Democrats of trying too hard to control the flow of cash to ensure their individual constituents get some money.","link":"http://vodpod.com/watch/960864-swift-acting-legislature","stats":{"weekly_views":1,"total_pod_views":7,"total_widget_views":19,"weekly_pod_views":1,"total_views":26,"weekly_widget_views":0},"uid":"45594b763114b14eeff576744a46fa2b21b5121f","updated_at":"Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:28:04 -0500","user":{"link":"/michaeldownes","username":"michaeldownes","_value":"Michael Downes","user_id":278717},"autoplay_embed_tag":"<embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/s3A9PamL7TQ&autoplay=1&fs=1&showinfo=0&showsearch=0&rel=0&#038;rel=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" wmode=\"opaque\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" id=\"myytplayer\"></embed>","embed_host":"youtube.com","pod_id":288040,"vodpod_id":960864,"title":"Swift Acting Legislature\u2026"}}],"total":81}});
