Maxine Waters goes nuts on TV, cut-off by chairman
Fox News Live | 2/11/09 | vanity

Posted on 02/11/2009 8:45:38 AM PST by pabianice

Fellow Freepers, you just missed a great show. Democrat Maxine Waters just had a psychotic break during the House grilling of top bank CEOs regarding what happened to the $ 350B they got but somehow never made it to customers.

Maxine -- never the calmest of souls -- got on an incomprehensible tear and, her voice rising and becoming a low-level screech, began accusing the CEOs assembled of piracy, lying, and gross abuse of bank customers. She lit into a litany of every Leftist Lunatic grudge against capitalism in general and banks in particular. Wild-eyed and shaking, she stopped actually asking these poor guys questions and simply yelled accusations at them, telling them to "raise your hands" if they pled guilty. No one could get a word in edgewise. Finally, as Maxine reached the level of Howard Dean screaming at his audience, the chair interrupted and tried to get her to stop self-destructing on TV. Maxine ignored him and kept her screechfest going. Finally, the chair simply stopped her, telling her that she needed to submit her "questions" to the CEOs after the hearing ended. Moment of stunned silence. Then the grilling continued by another, saner Dem.

I hope this makes Youtube. Waters is a raving hatemonger and we need to make sure everyone sees her in action.

I don’t think anybody is surprised. She’s always been that way and the good people of Compton CA keep reelecting her.

This thing called ‘maxine waters’ actually pulled the same stunt with the oil execs, threatening to socialize (fed take over) the oil production in America. Instead of focusing upon this insane congressional critter, think about what it takes to keep electing this thing to Congress! ... And that’s why this nation is circling down the shitter as we type.

There are hundreds of millions of Americans who will not be satisfied until Barney Frank and Chris Dodd take a ride on the gurney at Terre Haute.

Amazingly Congress proceeds on as if anger is not in the air.

W and crew were blackmailed by China, Russia, and Britain for immediate relief from the Dim created (Carter / Clinton CRA, Fannie, Freddie, Franks, Dodd, etc)) toxic AAA rated CDS's pawned off to 'our friends'. This is why the Fed secretary and the Treasury secretary and their staffs will not utter a peep as to where that money went.

In the meantime Maxine can't admit to the fact as to the real 'whys' behind all this crap$. She won't accept the fact the working class & corporations cannot support the current size of our goobermint at all levels, and the physically / mentally-abled who are too lazy to work, plus the illegal immigrants living off the dole.

I think Compton is just a small part of her district.

I've seen her go "ape-sh*t" many times.

If she had some poop, I'm sure she'd throw it.

Last time I saw her screw up and show her ass, she virtually admitted that she wanted a Socialist takeover of businesses in Amerika.

Thanks to Bush, Paulson, and RINOS, the nutcase dems like Max-insane are getting just what they've wanted all along.

The much simpler explanation is that W and crew were careless idiots when it came to economics.

Wasn't Maxine the one who wanted the Mars Rover to drive over to where the Astronauts planted the flag so she could see it?

::::::::::::
The liberal Congress has had pent up frustrations that they could not foist their socialist control upon the citizens of America for almost forty years because America has always fought back and prevented it. Now, they are like rabid dogs, who have had their cage door opened and they are trying to get every anti-American, socialist whacko scheme passed in this killer pork bill to satisfy their lust for radical socialist power.

Of course they do not care about ANYTHING or ANYONE -— just their rabid lust for totalitarian power and control.

Their behavior is no surprise.

If it was her...I’m sure she requested the Rover to run over it.

It does kinda make a mockery of the whole thing to have a raving lunatic go off like a fire alarm in the middle of this IMPORTANT hearing.
