I've been having some technical difficulties...argh.
I posted this on Archae's thread in GD.

Archae has the video link in GD. It's sad for this guy. The GOP, especially at the state level, believe the myths they have been told, aren't used to compromise and bipartisanship. The whole thing is a foul mouthed meltdown, contrived or not.
"HELENA - The House Republican majority leader, Michael Lange, unleashed a profanity-laced tirade at Gov. Brian Schweitzer Wednesday, saying the Democratic governor "can go straight to hell."
Lange, of Billings, exploded during a meeting of House Republicans Wednesday morning and repeatedly attacked Schweitzer, who was not present.
The GOP leader called Schweitzer an "SOB on the second floor that thinks he's going to run this state like a dictator."
He later apologized to fellow House members on the floor.
Rep. Bill Wilson, D-Great Falls, then rose on a "point of personal privilege" to respond, saying he had never heard anything as "vile and as insulting as I heard today."
"Mark my word," said Wilson, a 14-year veteran of the Legislature. "This is a very low point in the history of this body."
Lange's blow-up came about 90 minutes after he had met with Schweitzer to talk about an offer that Democrats considered a tax and budget compromise to end the session.
He told House Republicans he considered the offer a "bribe" and that he was standing up for his caucus and what it believes in.
"So my message to the governor is to stick it up your ass," Lange shouted angrily. "That's my message to him. Stick it up your ass."
Many of the House Republicans applauded this comment. Some, however, sat stone-faced listening to the ranting by Lange, who has expressed interest in challenging Democratic U.S. Sen. Max Baucus next year.
At one point, Lange accused Democrats of negotiating like "radical socialists" like those in the Soviet Union, North Korea and "Red China." They won't compromise or capitulate, he said."
