This Is Nuts

I don't pretend to be an expert on policy, politics, or government, but this video has me in a rage right now.  I can't believe that people can act like this, particularly people who are elected to office. No matter what side of this issue you are on, this type of behavior is juvenile and embarrassing.  Wow.
"This morning, the House began consideration of the rule for debate of the House health care bill. As the Democratic Women’s Caucus took to the microphone on the House floor to offer their arguments for how the bill would benefit women, House Republicans — led by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) — repeatedly talked over, screamed, and shouted objections. “I object, I object, I object, I object, I object,” Price interjected as Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) tried to hold the floor.
In an effort to delay and derail the proceedings, the Republicans continually talked over the Democratic women for half an hour. They sought to prevent the debate by calling for unnecessary “parliamentary inquiries” and requests for “expanding the debate” by an hour."
