Sensenbrenner Yells At Constituents (With Audio!)


The following transcripts are via Tim Schilke.

Clip 1 (MP3 || .WAV)

Constituent: Calm down... That's all I'm saying... Now look, you're ready to jump out of your chair at me! Sensenbrenner: I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU! Ms Crawford has the floor, now one at a time! Constituent: All I'm saying is that you were hot-headed. And you were beyond the composure that I would expect from my Congressman, whether or not you feel the rules are out of order or not. I would ask for an apology for having been represented in that manner <85-year old wingnut in front of me can be heard: "OH, Come on...">. Sensenbrenner: I don't think an apology is necessary for enforcing the rules maam. You know I don't apologize for enforcing the rules. The witnesses... Constituent: I'm not asking you to apologize for enforcing the rules...
Clip 2 (MP3 || .WAV)

Sensenbrenner: was chosen by Democrats and Mr. Conyers. And again, if that went on in any courtroom, you know, where irrelevant testimony that did not relate to the issue that was before the court, the court would have had to abstain, ah, sustain an objection. I didn't do that, I let em' talk! Constituent: I'm not asking for an apology for that, I'm asking for an apology for your behavior. For your huffing, your puffing, <85 year old wingnut in front of me can be heard: "OH, Come on..."> your interrupting them, and your screaming and shouting. I'm not yelling at you, but you're yelling at me. So now I ask you personally for an apology because you're yelling at me. Sensenbrenner : The hearing was over with, and that's why the hearing was adjourned . Everybody who was there was able to have, after five minutes to be recognized to say what they wanted to say. The witnesses spoke for five minutes, they were able to answer questions that were offered to them by members of the committee, and the fact is that.. Constituent: They actually weren't able to answer all the questions... Sensenbrenner : Well, because the time ran out, and you know the thing is... Me : Point of Order! Sensenbrenner: The thing is, when you ask a question that's 4 minutes and 55 seconds long... Constituent: It's common courtesy to allow somebody to expound on a question... Sensenbrenner: No it isn't, because, and... Constituent: And you have the power...

4. Wow...WI is not a lost cause - outside Madison. Thanks to you and the

lady for letting him know how a lot of citizens feel.

Can we excuse him because of his arrested development? He has to be in the top ten of Juveniles in Congress.

5. Nice to see this constituent pounding a little sense into Sensenbrenner

Not that any sense is really getting into him. He's still lying thrug his teeth about the hearings and rules. The congressman is a sick asshole. I hope they'll be able to vote him out next year.

thread nominated!

11. How dare you mere peons question me!

What an arrogant nutball Sensenbrenner is. Can't believe even a wingnut would vote for an idiot like him.

Wait--sorry. Scratch that last sentence.

12. This just goes to show you that repukes

think they rule the world and they don't give a rat's ass what their constituents think. Sensenbrenner was just as rude to his constituent as he was to the Democrats and the witnesses at the hearing. WHAT AN ASSHOLE! Man I hope he's defeated in his reelection campaign. This crap has got to stop!
