Quote of the Day

"I think if he was our age, somebody would have punched him in the face."

-- One of several anonymous congressional aides who complained to The Hill that an "assertive" U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., "barged into," "shoulder-checked" and even "trampled" them and other patrons at the Capitol Lounge during several trips to and from a seat at the bar. (“That’s ludicrous,” the 3rd District congressman said, through a spokeswoman, when asked about the Nov. 1 evening incident.)

Update: Rahall's spokeswoman tells The Charleston Daily Mail the story is a "complete fabrication," "concocted by 20-something Republican staffers with an axe to grind."
