Congressman berates war mother in corridor

During a videotaped altercation with a war mother in a corridor, Congressman David Obey, a Democrat from Wisconsin, lambasted “idiot liberals” as part of his ranting.

But isn’t calling his Democrat colleagues “idiot liberals” akin to the pot calling the kettle sooty?

The altercation was filmed and posted on YouTube and can be found here. A little over half way through the conversation, the Congressman becomes irate and even yells at a man in the hallway.

Rep. Obey later apologized to the war mother.

More on the confrontation can be found here.

Some of the YouTube postings of the video have been pulled. If the link above is dead, try the link here or here. Congressman Obey, as well as his liberal colleagues in Congress, would understandably want the video pulled.
