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.

How about a nekkid jello wrassling match on the Maury Povitch show?!
I remember back to the first Gulf War... Maxine Waters was on the local news confronting black army recruiters at shopping centers, getting within an inch or two of their base, and screaming at the top of her lungs about how they could sellout their brothers like this, how the community was suffering and what have you. The response to her tirades were simple “yes ma’am, no ma’am”, which only made her angrier.
meant to say she got within an inch or two of their FACE, not base...
It’s not funny, because Waters is like this ALL THE TIME. this is her M.O. and no one has the guts to do anything about her, i.e., to tangle with a black female. And that is the truth.
Rat on Rat fRatricide is always fun to watch!
That's like Bill Clinton saying that he never "touched" Monica Lewinsky, even though her lips were touching him.
I didn't know that "touching" only worked in one direction.

I know what you mean. Still, with this caliber of people, we all lose. If Waters can’t keep herself under control, send her back to her district.
yes maam, no maam, which only made her angrier.
Those feminist, socialist egos can’t stand to be called ma’am they have to know that. Respect is a value and they don’t have any. Panderers all!
...foreign and domestic...
Food for thought...
That’s okay. I knew what you meant. Hey, I do that all day long. No complaint here... ;-)
Loud mouth soup Maxine is a common variety thug.
I agree. She has been stinking up the place for a long long time. She is a bitter old cow.
Axinemay ovedshay Obey!
I think it's excellent their nastiness is exposed for all the world to see.
Two thieves fighting over the money they have stolen from Americans.
I suspect, that with Obama in the White House, his hand chosen house Negro as Attorney General heading up the “Justice” Dept and the Congress terrified by the Congressional Black Caucus whose members are drunk with new found power and opportunity to “arrange” reparations — we are probably on the slippery slope toward a live fire Civil War.....
Given the current situation — it may provide the only opportunity to move the pendulum away from the Leftist Racists in charge..
“...At 71 neither of these people should be shoving the other around....”
True. Give each a pistol, let em take 10 paces, turn and shoot it out.
Gets it over with quick and at least one leftist is gone....maybe two if we’re lucky.
