F. Jim up for a Diddly!

Sadly, the Republican misrepresenting Wisconsin's fifth CD lost to Rick Santorum. But here's what got him the nomination for the Diddly, described as "The Aaron Burr Award for Constitutional Devotion":

Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) lost his temper during a summer hearing on the Patriot Act. In the midst of sworn testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, which he chairs, he denounced the proceedings as “irrelevant” and angrily gaveled the meeting closed, in violation of the “unanimous consent” rule. As the floor erupted with protests from witnesses and opposition party members, Sensenbrenner’s staff turned off the microphones and then walked out.

Of course, I'm sure F. Jim feels it was an honor just to be nominated . . .
