Congressman &$%#"^! Shays

It has to be hard to be one of the last Republicans in Congress from the Northeast. He barely hung on last year and he's a top target to be taken out next year in this highly liberal part of the country. But is it an excuse to yell obscenities at every other person you come into contact with?

From My Left Nutmeg:

The guy is losing has lost it:

According to sources familiar with the event, the outburst began after Officer Randy Cooper informed a staff member that he could not bring a tour through a lower west front door that has restricted access.

One source said that after Cooper informed the staffer that the family could not enter through the door, the staffer called Shays and tried to have the officer speak with him. When the officer refused, Shays himself came down to the post and proceeded to “scream obscenities” at Cooper before touching his nametag to read it in the rain and storming away.

Update: Other recent acts that might have caused a neutral observer to question Shays' mental state have included attacking NASA scientist James Hansen in a committee hearing, literally screaming at the widows of Blackwater contractors who had died in Iraq in a committee hearing, and dismissing Abu Ghraib as a "sex ring" and not torture, among others.

Looks like Chris is sliding down the hill of mental stability at a steadily increasing rate. I hope he gets some rest after we kick him out of Congress next year, for his sake and those around him.
