Is this the angriest interaction between a congressman and his constituents ever, or at least of the ones that have been captured on YouTube? Yes? Let's go with "yes." This is Illinois Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh, a.k.a. Congress' Dad of the Year, just completely unloading on a couple of constituents at a recent town…
We missed the Michele Bachmann/Donald Trump joint "tele-townhall" this evening, because it was a Michele Bachmann/Donald Trump joint "tele-townhall." But maybe we made the wrong decision, because it sounds like it was a trip.
Donald Trump only picks winners, according to Donald Trump. He is so busy picking winners that he has no time to hang out with losers. So... that's why he's joining destroyed presidential candidate Michele Bachmann for her campaign's "tele-townhall" today? A winning move, by all measures.
For a whole second time in a matter of weeks, we have footage of robotic old Northeastern Rockefeller Republican Mitt Romney raising his voice, in a public forum. This is not how your governess trained you to behave, Mittens.
Usually Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma is a classy guy. He's long been one of President Obama's good Republican friends, he's open to raising more tax revenue, and he actually called Nancy Pelosi a "nice lady" once. So it's strange to see him now making jokes about shooting all of his colleagues, claiming that…
The Arizona Tea Party constituents who helped reelect John McCain last year are shocked, shocked to hear that he would then go on to make fun of them, by calling them "hobbits" on the Senate floor, immediately after starting his new term.
Members of Congress are back in their districts, attending town hall events, explaining to their constituents why, exactly, they want to make such major changes to the health care system.
Barack Obama's non-partisan (but kind of partisan) town hall for the kids on MTV, BET and CMT is underway. And according to someone who "auditioned" to ask something, the organizers want "light" questions. What kind of softballs should we expect?
Barack Obama is hosting some town hall for the youths tomorrow on their favorite channel, MTV. He asked for free time, MTV said "okay." But what about the Republicans? Why won't MTV give them time to interact with stupid tweens?
Barack Obama doesn't want businesses thinking he's anti-business. So he held a town hall today for CNBC, which literally all businesses watch. A common middle-class person posed a brutal first question, however, saying she's "exhausted of defending you."
Where have the crazy town hall protests been during this summer congressional recess? One of the few incidents we've seen happened in Michigan today, when old Sen. Carl Levin, chair of the Armed Services Committee, got pie'd.
Tom Coburn's gone rogue! At a town hall, the conservative Oklahoma Senator actually claimed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a "nice lady," and not a monstrous, liberty-defiling Gorgon. Then he suggested seeking information from sources other than Fox News!
At a town hall in Nashua, New Hampshire, Barack Obama said, of health care reform, "we've had to go into overtime, but now we're in the red zone." Oh man, we were at the 2 before. Now it's anywhere between goal and the 20? And is this regular season or post-season overtime? (Or college?)
Last year, Senator John McCain demanded that Barack Obama have 100,000 town halls with him, daily, until election day. So he is loving this month. His town hall was a sleepy affair, but it's Arizona, so there was crazy!
The woman Barney Frank yelled at was, it turns out, a Lyndon LaRouche cultist. This means you can't criticize Republicans for fear-mongering and outrageously inappropriate demagoguery!
Everyone loves the story of the old people who would rather eat chicken marsala than listen to Congressman Anthony Weiner try to convince them that the government will not take over their Medicare
"Tea Party Patriots" National Coordinator Jenny Beth Martin got a friendly little "media request" from CNBC: could you crazies maybe go crazy up a town hall somewhere? Sure, a 'Bagger says: how bout the guy who got the swastika?
To be sure: Sheila Jackson Lee represents inner-city Houston, Texas. Her district is 40% black and 36% Hispanic. (Jackson Lee's last Republican opponent, coincidentally, received 20% of the vote.) This woman questioning her has never and will never vote for Jackson Lee, and if her story of being an unemployed,…
The protesters at America's health care town halls are scary, what with their guns, apocalyptic posturing and talk of blood. The footage continues to come in, and we continue to sift out the especially disturbing bits.
