Looks like some elected officials themselves are getting pi$$ed at the Way Things Are in government...

Someone's parents kept telling him he was special and gave him a candy bar every time he threw a tantrum, huh? What an embarrassment. Poor guy didn't get his way so he jumps up and down, throws things and screams? F off.

Tyranny? Send him to Syria, maybe he'll learn to go easy on the hyperbole.

The most hilarious thing about this petulant child is the thing he was complaining about was a rule he and his fellow Republicans introduced and passed by a party line vote when they were in control so that they could do whatever the f*ck they wanted without having to work with the Democrats.

So many teabags trying to fit in that tiny gene pool.

We'd be infinitely better off if our lawmakers possessed a little more pi$$ and vinegar, rather than the cesspool of 'go along and get along' types we have now. I admire the guy's spirit.

What I really would like to see is fist fights breaking out on Capitol Hill once in awhile. Nothing like a good old fashioned a$$ kicking live on CSPAN.

But how can we perpetuate this noble trend? Fist pounding and saber rattling are not enough.

I say we need a call for stronger litmus tests. We simply can not afford any leakage of one side's ideas into another's.
Dogma at all costs, even when tempted to entertain an excellent opposing viewpoint, must be protected.

The house has always been whacky. part of it's charm. the problem is the Senate is beginning to follow suit.

this is a cycle though and all the children will have short lived carreers and the adults will come back.

The guy wants to have open discussion and debate over a bill before it gets voted on, and you say F off??

I know his fellow republicans initiated the rule that allows such behavior (although I'm not sure that the republicans were the majority in IL in '95?) but that doesn't make it right. It's an outrageous rule and this guy is 100% right to be angry.

He should be ashamed of himself for voting in the rule that allows for zero discussion. But he has no reason to be ashamed for his reactions. This isn't a tantrum, it's justified outrage.
Well, except for the whole paper-throwing thingy. That was childish.
