The Height of Arrogance

Breitbart posted a brief video of a historian attempting to correct a Congressman's mistake:



So, you have Congressman Don Young acting like (what looks to me) an arrogant fool, incorrectly stating Douglas Brinkley's name, Brinkley seeks to correct the Congressman on his error, and it's Mr. Brinkley who's chastised for breaching protocol.

The video is a reminder that some members of Congress think that because of their current occupation, they can get away with doing whatever they want, and are offended when someone else calls them out on it. Congressman Young was wrong in his mistake and added insult to injury by overstepping his bounds in telling Brinkley to shut up.

It's a shame some members of Congress have forgotten they're only there because We the People put them there; hopefully, enough people in Alaska will vote out Don Young, thereby letting him know he can't get away with his crap anymore.
