Nancy Pelosi Scolded By Republican On House Floor For Thanking Chris Van Hollen

WASHINGTON -- The House Republican and Democratic leaders generally get a fair amount of leeway in their remarks on the House floor, but Rep. Andy Harry (R-Md.) thought Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stepped over the line when she thanked Rep. Chris Van Hollen for his work on the budget Tuesday.

Van Hollen, the top Democrat on the Budget Committee and a fellow member of Harris' Maryland congressional delegation, had been trying to offer a Democratic plan to replace the sequestration budget cuts, to no avail.

When Pelosi, a former speaker of the House, thanked him for his work, Harris, a second-term tea party favorite who was presiding over the chamber, scolded her for turning to Van Hollen and using his name in a technical breach of decorum.

"The minority leader is reminded to address the remarks to the chair," Harris said, prompting a chuckle of disbelief from Pelosi.

He will have a very hard time getting recognized by the chair. Very hard time.

When they aren't blustering about Pelosi they're wasting time flogging the dead Benghazi horse.
Heaven forbid the rethuglicans actually get something constructive accomplished.

The Democratic Party should throw a few million at this fuckstick's opponent. Make him get the Teahadists out to vote.
