Here is my take:
There are tunnels connecting the congressional office buildings to the Capital. I know, we used them Saturday. (It's easier to go underground to visit your congresscritters, you only have to go through security once.)
The Black Caucus incident was staged, why? Because all congressional personnel use the tunnels, not above ground! We met and spoke to more Congressmen in the tunnels than in the offices, nobody was in their offices when we visited, just young staff members.
It was soooo staged. They were recording their “historic” walk thru the ‘horrific name calling’ Tea Partiers using their CELL PHONES. Watch a video or two and you’ll catch it. Also notice the ‘fearful expressions’ on their faces.
This was political theatre at it’s best/worst.
I’m surprised all the gay critters didn’t walk thru next arm in arm w/Barney.
