No, I won't lighten up.

I won't let my 4 or 8 year old children behave in that manner.

For a supposed adult to act like that in a joint session of congress is beyond the pale.

Rep. Wilson wasn't the only member acting like a buffoon, the Rep. from Tx with a sign around his neck, various reps. waving papers around....

It's Congress, not a damned circus.

If the Republicans continue to behave like children, then they deserve ridicule and scorn, not respect. While the leadership of the House has been less than desireable, it doesn't justify their actions.
