Shoving match breaks out in House when Maxine Waters doesn’t get “monument to me”

You can count on Maxine Waters, the Democrat from California, to freak out at least once per session. Yesterday was the day.

Best of all, the altercation was between Waters and fellow Democrat Dave Obey, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

YouTube Preview Image It all started when Obey refused to fund an earmark Waters requested for an institute that bears her name. Obey commonly refuses to fund what he calls “monuments to me.”

After Obey turned her down, Waters tried another tack. How about, she proposed, if we give the money to a different school that could then funnel the money back the first school. Waters “became irate” when Obey also turned down that transparently fraudulent request.

Obey tried to walk away to let the situation cool down, but Waters hounded him around the House floor and continued her tirade.

“She was in his face,” one witness observed, and the dispute degenerated into a “shoving match.”

A spokesman for Obey said Waters “accosted” the Chairman and “made a scene.” As one might expect, Waters was unavailable for comment.

We would like to thank the people of California’s 35th Congressional District. If it weren’t for your ability to overlook Maxine Waters obvious lunacy, we would have far less material to write about here at IHateTheMedia.com.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Throw the bum out! I didn’t see this exchange on CNN, MSNBC, or HLN when I flipped though. I also didn’t see Boehner’s speech on Friday evening on those three networks.

Face it, if we want to know what is happening within our country (or what will happen to our country)…FNC is our only choice.
