Their faces. But who cares.

[MiHiVidz]

BUSTED, you sunzabitches!!!!

[jpoolerdom]

it's so funny, sad and true. and to see them all leaping for the mic at the end. priceless. some of those guys have a great job in improv after they get voted out.

[expatted]

stupid fuckers

[wicker762]

These are punch drunk and very tired guys being goofy and sarcastic in some spare time for crying out loud. Have you never made fun of circumstances just to kill time or when you felt like quiting for a while but couldn't? I don't think many poloticians, from either party, are above what's being suggested here but that's not what's going on in this clip, imho

[TheConcernedPatriot]

lol guyz don't ever change! shameless!!!

[JawbreakerRS]

Absolutely hilarious. When you get to the state-level, politicians are clearly not as polished. We hardly knew ye buddy, but I guess we'll see you again come election ad-time in '12.

[getplaning]

"...hey, this microphone is on...oh, s***!" LOL priceless.

[jamesmorgandavies]

D'oh!

I know what they claim it says but there is no context for a comment on the handgun bill. I've listened from 1:05 numerous times and the phrase seems to be "hand out" which would fit with the Alaskan bill.

[thucy2]

@55SwampFox: The context seems to be this Republican complaining that any time the caucus has "dirty" work to do, they load it on him. "You know why? Because I'm expendable." He then goes on to talk about "the crazy give a hand gun to a schizophrenic bill" apparently as another example of the caucus expecting him to sponsor a bill he clearly thinks is nuts.

[55SwampFox]

@thucy2 Sorry, the word "gun" is not on the tape.

[marzilyas]

@55SwampFox just keep telling yourself that

[55SwampFox]

Sorry, I don't hear the word gun.

[S201676]

@55SwampFox

The relevant quote starts at 1:12; "... the crazy give a handgun to a schizophrenic bill." / "Ooooh" / "This microphone is on." [yanks microphone]

[PatrickBigelow]

@55SwampFox Nice try. Too bad Kaufmann admitted to saying it...."Doh!"

[generalsternwood]

Maybe the Wisconsin Republicans and the Iowa Republicans can open a Bed and Breakfast in Des Moines after they're all voted out. The Iowa Republicans are sponsoring this bill! Clearly, like their Wisconsin counterparts, the don't care about the people of their state, but only the national groups that give them tons of cash, and cushy jobs once they've dismantled their state's government.

Well, if you'd actually had reviewed Amendment 2, Section 3, Paragraph 11 - you would have clearly seen it states:

"We luvs 'em our guns, and wants to make sure even the CRAZIES/TEABAGGERS gets to carry 'em ... even those automatic ones with clips in the hundreds! That's 'cause we luvs 'em our guns."

@amaixner Well played. Very well played.
