Our View: Churchill complements Ill. House rant
People concerned with legislative decorum no doubt frowned on the recent outburst by state Rep. Mike Bost, R-Murphysboro, within the House chamber in Springfield.
Frustrated at how complicated, lengthy legislation popped up at the last minute, Bost let rip with an angry, 93-second denunciation of House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, and his leadership style.
You can watch it on YouTube, where a video recording of the rant has gone viral. One post had nearly 365,000 views as of Tuesday afternoon.
