In the process, they set off a host of fiery speeches and denunciations from their Democratic colleagues and produced a veritable YouTube moment from Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y), whose district includes many of the affected.

I have been watching this congressman for awhile during the course of Obama's march to the White House, I find him extremely sincere and public minded with regard to his politics. I find very intellectually focused and for the most part he communicates without emotion or rhetoric. That would be with the exception of this video launched against the NO PARTY…and who hasn't been flaming mad about the obstruction of government these days…I applaud Mr. Weiner and look to see him in the near future serving in other levels of our federal government…Well done and well said.
