"You're in the White House and think you're safe? I kicked your ###" : Freshman Democratic Congressman confronts Rove in the bathroom

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Kagen, D-Appleton, was among a group of freshman lawmakers invited to the White House on Nov. 13 for an evening reception that included taking photos with Bush and his wife, Laura.

[...]

Kagen, still hurting from the hard campaign, reportedly took note that Bush had come to Green Bay to campaign against him and congratulated the president for helping him win in an indirect reference to Bush's low approval rating. Kagen then reportedly greeted the president's wife, Laura Bush, by intentionally using the first name of the president's mother, Barbara, instead.

"I did that because I learned on the campaign trail that the meanest thing you can say to another gentleman is, 'He's a fine fellow.' And then you refer to his spouse by a different name," Kagen is reported to have told a local peace activist group who visited his Appleton campaign office Dec. 19.

In addition, Kagen reportedly told the activists he held the door to a White House men's room closed when he was alone with Rove.

"You're in the White House and think you're safe, huh?" Kagen was said to have told Rove. "You recognize me? My name's Dr. Multimillionaire and I kicked your ###."

Rove responded by offering Kagen his congratulations, according to a story published last week in The Scene, a monthly alternative publication that circulates in the Fox Valley.

Not being from Wisconsin or familiar with this district I don't know if this guy beat an incumbent or not. But I can see this happening when the voting public votes against a party and/or candidate rather than for someone.

I'm afraid that when they "throw the bums out"...they often get replaced by worst bums.

So the misguided voters in this district hate Bush and Iraq...and now they are stuck with this moron until he comes up for re-election. Groovy.
