House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wis.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) engaged in a late-afternoon shouting match on the House floor after Obey reportedly rebuffed Waters on an earmark request, aides and witnesses said.
Witnesses, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it appeared that Waters pushed or shoved Obey.
...
The two veteran Democrats each pugnacious and 71 years old began shouting, with the L.A.-area congresswoman following Obey around the chamber, reportedly suggesting he channel the vocational money through a local school district.
At some point, they collided, witnesses say, with one Obey ally claiming the lean Waters tried to shove the stout Obey.

Azzholes will be azzholes! Who got the cooties?
Unclean! Unclean! He needs to go immediately to the decontamination showers in the new Capitol Visitors Center and wash off those cooties — and the spittle.
She shoved an ofay?
Is the wuss complaining because a 71-year-old gramma can whoop is butt?
Hi Chet99,
I think the bitch can take him.
Love to see it happen.
I’d pay for it on showtime.
Put them in a death cage match and make some money.
Have it at Mandalay Bay, Vegas.
Hell yeah.
Is this the beginning of the next Burr vs. Hamilton?
(Is it wrong to hope that it is?)
Once Franken is sworn into the Senate, it won’t be long before fisticuffs are being exchanged on capitol hill.
‘RAT men enjoy getting clobbered with the rolling pin every now and then.
Like 2 Jackels fighting over a rotting corpse.
I release some waters every morning as soon as I get up and I shove an Obey at least once or twice a day.
RAT FIGHT!
There’s always a silver lining and seeing the photos of Franken being arrested will be awesome.
At 71 neither of these people should be shoving the other around.
One wrong misstep and that shove could be a fatal move.
Waters could wind up in prison for manslaughter if she isn’t careful. This isn’t a laughing matter.
Fighting how to spend other people’s money...
I'd rather see the photos of Jim Bunning kicking Franken's a$$.
It’s kida like a border war between China and Russia.
We win.
I’m surprised she didn’t throw a couple of tires and some gas over him. He am the wrong tribe.
