Two liberal Democrats launched into a verbal argument that turned physical on the floor of the House Thursday night during a debate over an appropriations earmark one was seeking, according to Roll Call.

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and Appropriations Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., split apart from a heated conversation and began yelling at one another.

“You’re out of line,” Waters shot while walking down toward the well.

“You’re out of line,” Obey shot back before turning and walking away.

But then Obey stopped, turned back toward Waters, and shouted: “I’m not going to approve that earmark!”

Quote of the day, “he touched me.” Maxine, this Crap & Tax bill you passed with your cohort David Obey has “touched” every American. We know what it is like to be touched by the ugly stick of the “WeWon” non-representative American government!

The title was written in a way that made me think “They have house rules for fighting in Congress?” Kinda like Marcus Of Queensberry

That’s my congressman. Fighting for Americans through writing and passing the stimulus bill. Fighting for Americans by voting in favor of Cap & Trade to save humanity from the evils of global warming. And fighting for Americans by letting his temper run again, this time against the good congresswoman from California.

“”against the good congresswoman from California.””

Of course it's a joke. Both she, and Obey, are jokes. Unfortunately not too many people are laughing.
