Cecile Richards has way more poise and control than I do. Makes me curious what would happen if...

...someone testifying before a congressional committee filled with idiots like chair Jason Chaffetz actually called them idiots. What would have happened if Cecile Richards had said to Chaffetz something like "that chart clearly isn't from Planned Parenthood, you grandstanding moron"? Does a committee have any recourse if they feel disrespected, like a courtroom judge does?

because as much as it must have pained her--and that small sigh at the beginning of the interview with Rachel is probably a small peek into the inferno that was raging inside her--she did exactly what she should have done. If anyone was gotchaed, it was that idiot Chaffetz. He was a bully and she was an informed and cool aand totally believable witness.
