Word. The Congressman was totally out of line, even if he was provoked.

Of course the kids wanted people to know who they were, why else would
they do it? It was an audition tape for the declining morass of
repugnance that qualifies as cable news in this country.

And wtf does SEIU have to do with anything? I suppose they
could...uh...refuse to clean the kids dorm room?

The guys doing the taping were douchebags. The Congressman rose to the
bait and was a total idiot. Douchebags got the notoriety they wanted,
Congressman probably gets off scott free (alas) and just looks stupid.
Everybody loses, yay society!
