It's Good to Be Back in the Majority

Barney Frank is a hoot. Here he is presiding as the chair on the House floor and knocks around Patrick McHenry when McHenry was trying to make a stupid point about American Samoa and how Democrats excluded it from the minimum wage increase but not from the stem cell bill (as if they could?!?).

Frank is pretty funny, particularly when he tells McHenry to read the bill to find out what is in the bill. Frank also says, after one Republican claims, ostensibly as a "point of order," that Frank made similar inappropriate inquiries of the chair when Republicans were in charge, that "comments on the past behavior of the speaker might be interesting, but they are not points of order."

Ah, the power of the gavel. Get used to it.
