Missouri Congressmen Calls Peaceniks A$$holes…Live in Congress

A group that appears to be associated with Code Pink was launched from a Congressional gallery yesterday as General David Petraeus began his testimony.  Missouri Congressman Ike Skelton, (D), had them removed for causing a disruption:

At least one woman could be heard shouting briefly, before Skelton (D-MO) ordered anyone who disrupted the proceedings to be removed from the hearing room.

“Out they go,” Skelton said. He paused a few seconds, then asked no one in particular, “Are they gone?”

At least a half-dozen protesters were arrested during the course of Monday’s hearing, and their presence visibly iritated Skelton.

Ike then turned to Duncan Hunter and voiced his appreciated for the protestors and their message:

“That really pisses me off down there, Those assholes,”

Yeah, me too.  Skelton eventually kicked a lot more people out before he was done.  There is no report at this time concerning his opinion on them, but one can imagine it is relatively the same.
