Douglas Brinkley vs. Don Young "I Pay Your Salary" Heated Exchange

At a Natural Resources Committee hearing Friday on oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) mistakenly addressed the professor as "Dr. Rice" while calling his testimony "garbage."

Brinkley interrupted, saying: "It's Dr. Brinkley, Rice is a university," and "I know you went to Yuba [Community College in California] and couldn't graduate — "

Then it was Young's turn to interrupt. "I'll call you anything I want to call you when you sit in that chair," he told the witness. "You just be quiet."

Brinkley countered: "You don't own me. I pay your salary. I work for the private sector and you work for the taxpayer."

Good job Brinkley. Young is a cunt.

[RightLibertarian]

I'm a Republican and I'm absolutely on Brinkley's side. That Congressman was a prick.

[Willredd94]

So he misspoke in saying Brinkley's name and Brinkley just decides to turn this into some type of show... what a prick

[RightLibertarian]

@scoob2007 Well, at first I thought Brinkley was a Republican, since he was touting his work in the private sector, which DemocRATS love to demonize.

[scoob2007]

@RightLibertarian Well, good for you for not being too Rebpricklian.

[scoob2007]

@gunneralquist I like your style.

The Blond is like... WTF

[gunneralquist]

The one good thing I can say about the Congressman is, well ............ nothing

What an arrogant, self-important gasbag - whether or not you agree with his position on drilling is a completely different issue - his demeanor renders him completely ineffective - and we, as taxpayers, are paying for this crap??
