re: #608 darthstar

Physical contact is a no-no. That congressman should release a statement like the following: “I let my emotions get the better of me. I’d like to apologize to my wife, my constitutents, and my country for grabbing that little asshole by the wrist.”

And I’m thinking the citizen, student or not, has a right to ask a question, the the Congressman should just answer it.

There’s a way to answer it:

“I’m not sure what you mean by Obama’s agenda, but I do support a, b, c, d, whatever, because I believe it’s what my consituents want and I believe it’s in their best interest for me to support those things”.

Period. End of it.

The politicians are (or should be) well practiced in the art of answering leading questions. My question is why the immediate hostility from the congressman?
