Congressman Describes Sound Of 'Tightening Sphincters' In Inappropriate Speech
Republican Congressman Steve LaTourette today: "Ross Perot, when he ran for president in 1992, talked about the giant sucking sound. Well, today there's another giant sucking sound going on in Washington, D.C. And that's the tightening of sphincters on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue as people are having to explain who put into the stimulus bill this provision of law." Really now... come on. You can't just go saying stuff like that. [ Plain Dealer ]
