Down in Texas, Democrat Gene Green had a similar experience at his town-hall meeting. While I think it’s unfair for one of the folks to expect that the congressman’s critics get a “half-hour” to make counterarguments, Green seems to be on thin ice, contending that the people who are showing up aren’t his constituents. (How does he know?)

(By the way, if the crowds at these events are an “angry mob,” then we’re really defining delinquency down; this is the first angry mob I’ve seen that looks like they’ll disperse in time to get the early-bird special at Denny’s.)

The local news finds a fellow in a mohawk to talk to afterwards; I welcome mohawked critics of hastily considered, far-reaching, poorly thought-out health-care-overhaul legislation.
