"This Is My Town Hall, And I Make The Rules…” Hmmm… a public servant? And wasn’t it the Blue Dog Democrats who were supposed to be the sensible Dems??
That's what Rep. Baron Hill (D-IN), the policy leader of the conservative/moderate Blue Dog coalition, explained to a journalism student at a town-hall meeting Wednesday night who asked why she wasn't allowed to videotape the event for a school project.
"This is my town hall meeting, and I set the rules, and I've had these rules," Hill responded, in an authoritative tone. "Let me repeat that one more time. This is my town hall meeting for you. And you're not going to tell me how to run my congressional office. Now, the reason why I don't allow filming is that usually the films that are done end up on YouTube in a compromising position."
Hill went on to say, "You are not going to tell me how to run my congressional office!" Hello?!? I hope his constituents show him who is boss come election time and vote him out if they haven't impeached him before... which might be a thought if Hill chooses to vote against the majority of his constituents' will on healthcare reform!
