Witnesses: (Maxine) Waters shoves Obey on House floor
Politico ^

Posted on 06/26/2009 1:03:20 PM PDT by Chet 99

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wis.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) engaged in a late-afternoon shouting match on the House floor after Obey reportedly rebuffed Waters on an earmark request, aides and witnesses said.

Witnesses, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it appeared that Waters pushed or shoved Obey.

...

The two veteran Democrats — each pugnacious and 71 years old — began shouting, with the L.A.-area congresswoman following Obey around the chamber, reportedly suggesting he channel the vocational money through a local school district.

At some point, they collided, witnesses say, with one Obey ally claiming the lean Waters “tried to shove” the stout Obey.

Unclean! Unclean! He needs to go immediately to the decontamination showers in the new Capitol Visitors Center and wash off those cooties — and the spittle.

Hi Chet99,

I think the bitch can take him.
Love to see it happen.
I’d pay for it on showtime.
Put them in a death cage match and make some money.
Have it at Mandalay Bay, Vegas.
Hell yeah.

I release some waters every morning as soon as I get up and I shove an Obey at least once or twice a day.

At 71 neither of these people should be shoving the other around.

One wrong misstep and that shove could be a fatal move.

Waters could wind up in prison for manslaughter if she isn’t careful. This isn’t a laughing matter.

I remember back to the first Gulf War... Maxine Waters was on the local news confronting black army recruiters at shopping centers, getting within an inch or two of their base, and screaming at the top of her lungs about how they could sellout their brothers like this, how the community was suffering and what have you. The response to her tirades were simple “yes ma’am, no ma’am”, which only made her angrier.

It’s not funny, because Waters is like this ALL THE TIME. this is her M.O. and no one has the guts to do anything about her, i.e., to tangle with a black female. And that is the truth.

She shoved him and then accused him of "touching" her?

That's like Bill Clinton saying that he never "touched" Monica Lewinsky, even though her lips were touching him.

I didn't know that "touching" only worked in one direction.

I suspect, that with Obama in the White House, his hand chosen house Negro as Attorney General heading up the “Justice” Dept and the Congress terrified by the Congressional Black Caucus whose members are drunk with new found power and opportunity to “arrange” reparations — we are probably on the slippery slope toward a live fire Civil War.....

Given the current situation — it may provide the only opportunity to move the pendulum away from the Leftist Racists in charge..

True. Give each a pistol, let em take 10 paces, turn and shoot it out.
Gets it over with quick and at least one leftist is gone....maybe two if we’re lucky.

That is an insult to trees and stumps everywhere.

Yes, and she also tried to get FCC to jerk the license of radio stations critical of her and she tried to claim that CIA were responsible for crack so as to addict the blacks.

Look up her bio on Wikipedia. She is a loo loo in addition to being just plain loopy.
