Mr. Speaker shut up!!

cong. dilangalen: you're wasting our time mr. speaker shut up!
the speaker : you shut up also!
majority leader : mr. speaker, i move...
cong. dilangalen: shut up majority leader! shut up! shut up! shut up! shut up!

this ain't no joke. you'll probably see this incident getting attention in the news tonight or tomorrow's newspaper. it's democracy folks. be patient, no matter how nutty those guys are. they are, after all, our representatives. they represent how nutty or onion skinned we too can be.

by the way, david celdran of ANC calls it the "shut up episode." i would count this as another interesting incident in our history that would be counted along miriam's "contempt show" at the impeachment trial, and cong. gonzalez's slapping of the house sergeant-at-arms.

couldn't dilangalen have just ignored the note? it didn't contain any threats after all. there was no need for such an outburst from a legislator.

and as of this posting, the session has been suspended until 2 pm tomorrow. great....
