 Ah, California. 

No wonder she doesn't get it.

She even kept looking at someone else to give her the answers.  Pathetic.

Not to toot my own horn, but after writing my comment, I looked up Ms. Richardson in Wikipedia.  Here's what the last paragraph said:

"Rep. Richardson was presiding speaker of the house during the November 29, 2010 lame-duck session of Congress. She can be seen initially refusing to recognize, then relenting to allow another representative to talk. Comically, she is almost constantly looking to her right, as house aides tell her what to say off microphone."

Wonder when that will be edited out.

I think it is already gone!  I could not find that paragraph.  Unless I am going blind or simply overlooking something.

I think that individual was giving advice on Robert's Rules of Order.

I admire Rep Buyer's restraint. I would have been tempted to walk right up to the speaker and ask how the weather is up there. Obviously the oxygen is rather thin at that lofty elevation, making clear thought all the more difficult. Perhaps medics should have been summoned.

That's an awesome clip. 

Thanks Josh.

"Loathsome" doesn't even begin to describe her.

I'm not one to leap at Bible verses, but in this case Isaiah 59:4 rushed into mind:

No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments and speak lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
