Take it from Rep. Peter King (R-NY), when fiery New York Representative Anthony Weiner (D-Acting School) tells you to sit, you sit. The Congressman, henceforth known as the Chuck Norris of politics, delivered a pitch-perfect performance on the House floor late last night to slam House Republicans for using a procedural move by Democrats as cover to block a bill that would have provided free health care to rescue personnel sickened by toxins during the 9/11 recovery efforts.
Weiner’s district includes many of those affected by the attacks and he was, um, not happy about this turn of events. His performance was the stuff of legends - finger pointing, dramatic pauses, fist pumping, banging and, of course, the classic slamming of the microphone before the great stomp-off. And, just like the pro he is, Weiner knew to stand directly on the “X” so that CSPAN cameras could capture every second. Goodbye Rockaway, hello Broadway.
