Obey to Kucinich: #$%@!!!
The Politico ^ | May 08, 2007 | David Baumann and Josephine Hearn

Rep. Dave Obey (D-Wis.) is at it again. He’s already been captured on “YouTube” denouncing “idiot liberals” over the war.

Tuesday he went a step further. He offended some fellow Democrats with delicate ears when he used extremely strong language to attack anti-war Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), during a House Democratic caucus meeting, according to sources who were in the room.

“He cursed at him,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). “I think Mr. Obey was unfairly harsh and disrespectful."

What exactly was said is still in question. One source wasn’t sure and others wouldn’t repeat the language.

Kucinich asked Obey about language dealing with privatization of Iraqi oil. Obey’s reply included some magic words, which prompted Rep. Diane E. Watson (D-Calif.) to declare that she was not attending the meeting to hear such vulgarity.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) attempted to make peace, but some still were not satisfied.

Asked later whether Obey had answered his question, Kucinich smiled and said, “I’ll respond at a later date.”

"Rep Baca (Dim-CA) called Rep Sanchez (Dim-CA) a “ho”"

That's it! She's from Bob Dornan's old district around Orange County. Surely she had some prime choice words for Baca before she walked out?

What Kuccinich really deserves is a good hard rap upside his head.

Kucinich: “ I propose a bill changing the national motto to ‘Live Long and Prosper’ “.

Obey: “Drop Dead and Fester.”
