Obey uses the other 'I' word

Congressman Obey says "Idiot Liberals" need to support war money

House Appropriations Chair David Obey (Dem., Wisc.) ran into woman in the hallway in Washington recently and ended up yelling at her and her friends, accusing them of "smoking something that's not legal" if they disagreed with him, and denouncing "idiot liberals." The woman, Tina Richards, introduced herself to Obey as the mother of a Marine about to depart for his third tour of Iraq....Watch the video
An interesting exchange - Obey has since apologized for 'yelling at' the lady and the other guy, but I didn't think Obey was at anytime overly disrespectful, especially to the lady, and what he said was pretty much dead on.

It's George Bush's war - and until you can get 218 votes in the House, and more difficult, 60 in the Senate, he's the 'decider'.
