Some may have moved beyond this and, if so, I congratulate them. But I am especially pissed because Elijah is MY Rep and he is a good one. So I am going to paraphrase Skinner's formulation to show my own feelings about it: Those assholes who shouted down Elijah Cummings on Monday night - or any other, FWIW - are assholes indeed.

If I personally ever meet one of those assholes, this 70+ great-grandmother will be very happy to give him/her the long overdue tongue-lashing he/she most certainly deserves for such behavior. Otherwise it will be left to karma and karma can be a real downer.

From the link:

Shortly after Cummings took the stage early Monday evening, Sanders delegates began yelling "No TPP," referencing the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement with Pacific Rim nations. The chants were heard not only in the Wells Fargo Center but also on television.

"It was downright disrespectful," said Mfume, a delegate for Hillary Clinton. "I think it does not necessarily help the relations that Bernie's people may have with the larger African American community...that, for me, was a low point."
