As a commenter pointed out — but it’s worth a separate post to correct an insult to a congressman — the “arrogant jerk” in that video clip is then-representative Parker Griffith from Alabama’s 5th, not Bob Latta. My point about the pile-on being bipartisan still stands, though; Rep. Griffith had switched to the GOP in December 2009. He lost his primary last year and is no longer in Congress. Apologies to Bob Latta anyway.
