Strange behavior

What's is it with the Rethuglicans these days? Are they all going crazy? First, Scalia starts behaving oddly, flashing the bird to a reporter in a Catholic Church and giving crazy speeches around the world about cases he is about to hear in the Supreme Court. Now, Sen. Pete Domenici has a hissy fit on the floor of the Senate. From Raw Story:

Before bolting from the Senate chamber, U.S. Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) shouted at Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR,) "I just violated the rules!"

Domenici had interrupted Wyden's introduction of an amendment under the pretense that he was attempting to ask a question. Rather, he blasted the Senator's plan, after doing so announcing, "I just violated the rules! I didn't ask a question, I gave a speech. I hope you listened."

Wyden had been on the Senate floor for nearly five hours. Under Senate rules, a lawmaker can push a vote on his or her amendment so long as they can stand on the floor.

The Wyden amendment would eliminate royalty relief subsidies for drilling on government land if oil prices exceed $55 per barrel.
