The decorum we are use to from the party of no class decorum

Here's what provoked it:

quote:

"You know something that I find quite interesting about the other side? Under the leadership of the former Speaker [Pelosi], and under the leadership of their former leader [Rep. Steny Hoyer], when in 2009 and 2010, they had the House, the Senate and the White House, and they knew this problem existed," he continued. "They didn't have the strength to go after it back then. But now are trying to make a political issue out of it now."


Then a demented Pelosi leaves her post and goes across the floor and gets in Marino's face.

Later when reached for comment a pelosi spokesperson said Marino apologized, which the Marino camp denies. Furthermore, Marino had this to say:

quote:

Rep. Marino] did not apologize to Leader Pelosi and does not intend to do so as he has nothing to apologize for. She was entirely out of line in approaching him while he was recognized and delivering remarks on the Floor," Tighe wrote in an email. "Her staff's comment in your story about her accepting his apology in simply not true."


And this

quote:

Rep. Pelosi called me an 'insignificant person' on the Floor of the House. I'll ponder that for a while driving to Williamsport tonight......of course I'll be driving myself, with no staff or security


it is frightening, for what it's worth, that Pelosi thought she could get away with it.

She knows he's telling the truth AND they are about to be slaughtered in the mid terms.

What are you talking about? You don't seriously think she will get any heat for this? She is nothing more than a demented gutter whore and showed her true colors and the media will praise her.

In his face? Where in your linked article does it say this?

It's frightening that you fear a 74 yo lady and believe there's something to get away with.

I suppose she should have just yelled "YOU LIE!" Which apparently is the decorum you would prefer.

That is absolutely disgraceful--even for the House. I often wonder if the lack of civility in this country flows from the leadership down to the people or vice-versa.

Another troubling part about this is how her rep just blatantly lies to the media at the expense of another.

They have no shame.

This woman is moon-bat cra-cra.

These fools want to start crap & think there is not going to be any payback, they are crazy.

The House leadership really needs to come down hard on this fool or its gonna get outta hand.

Maybe we'll see congress start to have actual brawls like other countries.

I liked it... The time for civility is over. People need to speak the fricking truth. This goes for both sides of the aisle. Had it been boner, he prob just would have started crying.

Its too bad it wasn't a woman calling out Pelosi because she could have punched her square in the nose when she ran over there.

pelosi is worthless, and i'd love to see lefties howl if someone like boehner had done some shite like that

but i don't care much about "decorum" in congress, and i don't know why anyone else pretends to either

In all seriousness, I am beginning to wonder if Pelosi is experiencing some form of early onset dementia. Aka Alzheimer's. It's not just this latest episode, that makes me wonder.

This is what happens when you sincerely believe that not only are your political opponents wrong, they are morally inferior.

Pelosi is certifiable. It's great that the dims kept her as their leader cause she makes such good fodder to campaign against.

Pelosi is the posterchild for term limits (one of many).

I know the system will never change, but changes need to be made.

She is too much of an idiot to realize that she is stupid or too stupid to realize that she is an idiot!
