there is going to be some serious consequences for this kind of outburst. I am not having one minute of it. You are both senior citizens. I do not care who started it, but I am going to end it. Okay Maxine you sit in this chair, and David you sit in this one. Do not look at each other, do not poke each other. Have I Made Myself Clear!

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wis.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) engaged in a late-afternoon shouting match on the House floor after Obey reportedly rebuffed Waters on an earmark request, aides and witnesses said.

Witnesses, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it appeared that Waters pushed or shoved Obey.

The pair were seen shouting at each other and had to be separated by members — who were crowded on the floor casting final votes before heading off to a party at the White House.

Waters, according to a Democratic staffer familiar with the situation, approached Obey to ask him to fund one of her long-standing earmarks, the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.

Obey — no fan of funding projects named after the politicians that fund them — told her no.

7. At least one of them didn't beat the other almost to death on the floor..
Congress used to be a good bit more rowdy than it is today.
