It will make its way to the rulers of the united States (the military industrial complex) for private showings and comedy nite.
Perhaps they will change the rules to allow fist fights ... which should garner more viewers.

As obnoxious as this whole exchange is, hats off to Barney for not allowing a congressman to use an inappropriate rule about procedures for a question regarding debate. It sounds like nit-picking, but, just because time is available for one thing, you cannot use it for something else un-related. That's cheating and wasting time. That's the whole purpose of parliamentary procedure, after all. Barney is a determined teacher.

Was watching as this happened. The little guy with glasses is always like a pesky bug ! Think he wanted Barney to totally freak out, then get himself on You Tube.

LMAO..
The right-wing is so full of obnoxious asshats.. this is priceless.. "is this the right time to propose an amendment".. "no".. should have been the END of it, but these ignorant pricks are trying to "make speaches", as Barny puts it.. and REFUSE to behave and follow the rules.
Just another -perfect- example of how the right-wing feels the rules don't apply to them, and will try to circumvent them to achieve their own ends. Not to mention all the bullshit like "when the Speaker was out here.... blah blah". Get over yourself! What about the time the right-wing shitball TURNED OFF THE LIGHT AND MICS during a hearing?! Or, when hearings were denied floor space and had to be held in the BASEMENT!?
Ignorant schmucks..

I also watched this pitiful exchange life. I wish I had had my DVR on to record it! At least one Democrat has some spine! Go Barney!

The whole bunch of Rethugs there were like a pack of wild hyenas circling around to wear down the prey (Barney Frank). They were handing off to one another with great glee/enjoyment - the opportunity to take a bite that would accumulate into numerous flesh wounds - and then they could move in for the final kill.
Let's fuck with the fag,.. have some fun and entertainment,.. and then rejoice the fact that Fascist Rethugs are the real macho men - the real leaders of this world.
Barney Frank held his ground admirably against these cheap schoolyard bullies who act more like adolescent little girls.
