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.

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.

No I think she thinks she is above reproach and that she thinks nothing will come of it.

She should take the heat - especially after her office lied to the media.

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.

She would be right.

She won't she will play the victim card, now now you know damn well that democrats don't lie.

Nothing will come of any of this and at this point I don't give a frick anymore. I have lost all faith in the political process in this country. Its has become so corrupt and fricked by the media and politcal correctness bullshite that nothing short of a actual real life revolution stands any chance of fixing it.

It runs on both sides of the aisle. It's clear that these people really hate their political opponents on a personal level.

Agreed and the ironic thing is that the democrats who are always preaching tolerance, acceptance civility are almost always the ones that get combative and sling personal attacks when someone dares to challege their positions.

Here's the YouTube.

She was indeed in his face.
GOP Congressmen in the background were laughing at her.

Now tell me you don't realize this would be getting wall-to-wall press if the parties were reversed.

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.
