That was hilariously creative...well done Congressman. Wish he was mine. I always loved the sound of an auctioneer. All American.

[patriciamorrell]

Wow! This is The United States Of America. I can not help but to love the people even more when unusual reactions appear out of the blue as this Congressman has shown us.

I want to buy this man a drink!!! He was using sarcastic and belittling humor in order to not only drown her out but to marginalize her as a "crazy ", by acting crazy right back to her. He was making a not too subtle point that she is nuts and insignificant. Everyone was laughing at the end. Brilliant psychological strategy, sir. Well played!!

[Garapetsa]

I never laughed so hard in a long time. That congressman has my vote..he's a goper!

[rblumbe]

He not a bad auctioneer. I probably have attended some of his sales

[cherylthayer]
