Senate majority leader Harry Reid has adjourned the Senate to allow for a viewing of the Hollywood film Lincoln.
Senate Republicans propose initial $24B in Sandy aid, then adjourn to watch “Lincoln.” Obama wanted 60B.

Reid calls the viewing an “an opportunity for bipartisanship.”

The move is being criticized. RNC communications director Sean Spicer writes on Twitter:
Senator Reid has adjourned the Senate so they can all go see a movie — what cliff? No budget in 3 years and movie time as nation in crisis
