'actually spending your time worrying about what we're doing up here, I don't 
want you to do that. Go back home.'

These are the remarks of the ranking GOP member of Iowa state Senate's 
Education committee, addressing students (who were all student leaders like 
student body president, etc) who came to testify to the Legislature about 
funding cuts to the University system: 

"TRANSCRIPT OF SENATOR SHAWN HAMERLINCK'S COMMENTS: "I do not like it when 
students actually come here and lobby me for funds. That's just my opinion. I 
want to wish you guys the best. I want you to go home and graduate. But this 
political fear, leave the circus to us OK? Go home and enjoy yourselves. I want 
to thank you for joining us and though I have to concede, your time speaking 
before us is kind of a tad intense. It's probably a pretty new experience. You 
probably prepared for it for days and you sat there in front of us trying to 
make sure your remarks were just right, and that's a good thing. But actually 
spending your time worrying about what we're doing up here, I don't want you to 
do that. Go back home. Thanks guys."

What an astounding level of contempt for the people he's been elected to 
represent.
