While a lot of lefties have been entreating the Dems in Congress to grow a spine and stand up to their more conservative brethren, one guy finally "went there".
Mind you, the Republicans are insulted (and the only reason you don't hear them being insulted is that this is the after-hours speechifying for the cameras - there are about three guys in the chamber).
But I don't see the irritation - I've been using this joke since the Reagan Administration. (But I think the Representative should check in with Senator Franken to work on his delivery).
More later,
Update: OK, now he's just trying to push their buttons.
