Think Progress » VIDEO: Schmidt’s Shame
Wow, this lady is definitely nutso. This is getting to be more and more like the Congress pre-civil war (you remember Charles Sumner being caned?).Just atrocious.
[Additional info]: From a Kos post regarding the immediate retorts during the gaveling after Schmidt said those stupid things. they may be stricken from the record, but we've got the permanent tape:
From the AP:
Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., charged across the chamber's center aisle screaming that it was an uncalled for personal attack. "You guys are pathetic. Pathetic," yelled Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass.
Schmidt was forced to retract her comments, lest she be censured by the House leadership. House rules do not allow members to impugn the integrity of any other members.
