CNN: The longtime congresswoman, whose district includes much of Los Angeles, also described some senators who are opposed to the health care reform bill as "Neanderthals."

"Not only are we going to do everything we can to organize and put pressure on the senators — some of whom are Neanderthals — we're going to say to the president, 'We want you to use every weapon in your basket in order to get those senators to do what they should be doing,'" Rep. Maxine Waters said.

I'd be surprised if Waters knew what Neanderthal meant.

I didn’t realize that they had affirmative-action quotas at the senate level, too.

Sorry Max. IMHO, those who SUPPORT “the public option” are freeloading Communists who want somebody else to pay their bills for them.

She’s got that ‘Nancy Pelosi fist’ flailing around.

I noticed in this vid...she’s lost that VERY ‘affected’ speech pattern....and doesn’t ‘over-pronounce’ her words (’cause she’s with the right folks). LOL! Another ‘vapid cow’.
