Have you ever met a congressman or a senator?

I know a couple dozen of them. Every. Single. One of them is a raging a*hole. That's both sides of the aisle, both houses, podunk-districts in the middle of nowhere to (former) Senate Majority Leader.

Douche nozzles, every last one.

I am convinced that there is something mentally wrong with anyone aspires to that kind of office. Not surprised in the slightest.

Ah, I get it. It's okay for a congressperson to treat citizens like this, I can call you anything I want when you are sitting in that chair, {paraphrasing) provided I agree with them.

You are tools and fools that deserve it then.

I see you've brought in to the conversaion Rush's adjective, good for you. He would love that you listen so closely and parrot his points.

And yes, I care. Seems like someone who complains about politicians as much as you do would agree with me here, but you can't bring yourself to do it even when it's something as easy and obvious as elected representatives having contempt for the American people.

You really care what Chris Mathews thinks? Really? You must, you started a thread about him.

If ya don't like it vote him out.

Not a classy move.....hardly worth getting worked up over.

Dems have been calling whole groups of people names.

What? If you agree it was an **** move, why would you even say this to defend it? Makes no sense at all. It's an example of how much he has contempt for the people he works for. It's sh*t like this that makes conservatives look like real tools when they defend or write off behavior like this because the perp is an R and yet condemn the same attitude in people they disagree with.

Yes it was poor behavior and he shouldn't havr done it. I didn't defend it I pointed out what I thought was as bad or even worse behavior I don't remember you showing such outrage for.

Professor Rice got what he wanted attention.

The R from Alaska I have don't think "had contempt for a tax payer" I think he had contempt for an enviro-wacko.

Doesn't matter cuz you just wanna play the tool card. So proceed everyone is listening.

Also technically speaking he works for his constituents in Alaska not for the unpatriotic professor Rice (energy independence is patriotic right?).

Proves my point once again that you accept behavior if they 'agree' with you and complain vehemently when they don't.

I think your outrage is just as selective as the alleged hypocrisy you're pointing out. It was context.

And if you don't get the patriotism point I can't help you. Ill give you a hint its hypocrisy!

I think such behavior by a legislator is 100% unacceptable, no matter what the issue and what party. Another step along the way to absolutely zero political discourse. I blame the chairperson too. He/She should control what is going on, particularly with those on his/her committee. I also think the witness was obnoxious and way over the line.

I used to battle during litigation and in court hearings. Some times there was animosity between my self and opposing counsel. The arguments could be quite contentious. Hearings could be tension-filled. Certain judges were pricks. My clients had a personal stake in the outcomes of whatever was going on and, by extension, my financial interest was often an important factor. At other times, it was a matter of principal.

Listened to personal attacks and outright slander of my clients became common. My integrity, skills and knowledge were belittled. And, I was often contributing to what ever was going on by just subtly pushing opposing counsel or a witness- over the edge. But, it was a rare event that any player ever behaved like that. The daggers were out many, many times- but disputes, disagreements and outward bursts of anger were controlled almost all of the time.

You can count on one hand the number of times that I saw behavior like that...

Z still hasn't given me examples where I condoned behavior worse than this by a Democrat.

Maybe he has something more important on his plate. After All it makes no difference if he does because you will try to twist his words to your liking.
