This Week in Congressional Golden Showers

A couple of weeks ago, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) told a hate-spouting wingnut at a town hall meeting that, "Trying to have a conversation with [her] would be like arguing with a dining room table." At the time, I applauded his candor. I still do.

However, it seems like the Left has grown even more impatient with addle-pated mongoloids who insist upon swallowing the GOP's bullshit health-care scare tactics and misinformation hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, fisherman, and boat. Dig the latest salvo from Democratic Rep. Pete Stark, who represents California's 13th District, as he brings an argumentative rambling grandpa up short at a recent town hall meeting:



Now, I don't know about you, but I'm finding this new era of outspokenness a refreshing sea change in American politics. I hope refusing to pander to abject idiots who don't matter becomes just as much of a new-millennium trend as glad-handing and fence-sittery were in the last century.

love how he just completely loses interest at about 3:15ish and starts picking lint or something off the podium. even better is his response after that same chick stops ranting: "Ohhkaay…" ha! classic.

also, why wouldn't he want to waste the urine? is he conserving for some sort of Waterworld-type scenario?
