Today, it is being reported on many newspaper websites across the state that Montana House Majority Leader Michael Lange, R-Billings, lost it in a caucus meeting. Here are a couple of the links:

It was reported that Lange called Governor Brian Schweitzer a dictator and an S.O.B. and said the Governor could take his proposals and, “Stick it up your ass” and “can go straight to hell.”
Ouch. Politics are a contact sport. The gloves are off.
Is this another embarrassing and political harmful moment for the Republicans? Yes.
My Mom and Dad always said that, “Cursing at someone and calling people names make you sound really stupid and uneducated.”
You know, Mom and Dad were right and this was a classic example.
Apparently, some of Lange’s followers in the caucus applauded him for his speech. They’ve surely been locked up in Helena for too long drinking the partisan Kool-Aid and have lost touch with what they were sent there to do.
It was also supposedly caught on tape by a news crew. I smell a campaign commercial!
As The Western Word (TWW) has contended before, this whole session has been nothing but one big three-ring circus (Governor, Senate, House). Montanans are sick of it. Please just go home on Friday. Pick up your toys and go home. Please.
