This "Thrilla in the Congress" has been brewing for a couple of weeks. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), has been upset that committee chair David Obey intended to deny her request to earmark $1 million dollars from the US Treasury for the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center. According to house sources it is never a good thing to get on the bad side of one of Maxine Waters outbursts.
Two weeks ago Waters confronted Obey behind closed doors in a Democratic whip meeting. Obey told Waters that he was no longer allowing earmarks named after Members and would only make exceptions for people who are dying.
Today's battle was louder and on the house floor:

Waters represents South-Central L.A/Watts. It’s a very lovely area, especially at night. If you ever plan to visit, make sure you’re packing...

MAXINE had some thing similar the first year clinton was in office, it provided a $100.00 for all the creeps to get a hair cut, so they would look more presentable...but I guess that did not work..

[...Obey turned away, but Waters went to go huddle
with members of the Congressional Black Caucus. She
could be over heard telling them: He touched me first....]
They should both be expelled.

Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center What?!?!?
She already has a job (not that she is qualified or even works, but she collects the checks).

Some years ago, I read a book “1857” that noted that just before the civil war, things got physical in congress.
A few years after that, a very wise old man told me, “When you see congress break out in a fight or two, civil war is not far away”.
Makes me wonder.

OK in order to fix this catfight, let’s have a duel. Arm them both with pistols, walk ten paces, put gun to head and fire. OOOPS wrong procedure, oh well. My bad.

David Obey intended to deny her request to earmark $1 million dollars from the US Treasury for the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center. I'll donate $1 to the Maxine Waters Humility Development Fund.

Isn’t she the one who made a big deal about not getting “R.E.S.P.E.C.T.” from a Capitol Hill security officer because she didn’t want to comply with the rules put in place to protect her and the rest of her “ilk”?
