Kurt Schrader, Anthony Weiner and a Classic Blow-Up

Junior members of the majority party usually rotate in the presiding chair during most House sessions. And Schrader's turn yesterday coincided with Weiner's explosion at the GOP. While we wait for comment from the office of Schrader, a freshman who faces a tough re-election this fall, here's the video of Weiner and the gavel-wielding Schrader:
