New word!!!

This popped into a discussion on the Colorado house discussions on gun legislation.



This guy, Rep. Gardner, kept coming up with one wild hypothetical "what if" script after another, and at one point made quite a fuss that the bill's sponsor wasn't in the room to answer HIS very important question (very long day, chances are he waited until she was down the hall answering another call). He's been doing this stuff all day. So, apparently there's a name for it. But I really like the tweeter's name better.

Hmmm, wonder if he's related to Cory Gardner, allegedly my representative in Congress...
