Alan West is an attention seeking punk. It's standard fare for a politician to seek attention, but this is over the top:
The controversy began Tuesday when Wasserman Schultz called into question West's stance on Medicare during the debate over a spending cap and balanced budget bill before the House.
West, a first-term Republican from south Florida, responded by sending an email to numerous lawmakers as well as Wasserman Schultz, who also is the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
The subject line of the email: "Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman Schultz."
The email said: "Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up."
I took a look at the video, and this shows West is WAYYYYY over the top:
Note the time of the clock in the video and note how EMPTY the well of House is. This is the time period where representatives are allowed to make prepared statements concerning what ever they want to comment upon. Of COURSE West wasn't there. He either already had his time and left, or his time hadn't come up yet and he was doing something else!
West's response to what she said was way overboard and he's playing his base for suckers.
West is a punk.
