From a diary at Daily Kos: Kos just made Tancredo take his ball and go home on TV
The short story is that they were discussing the VA Health System, and Tancredo made some kind of rude, liberal bashing thinly disguised comment to Kos, to which Kos responded to, awesomely and without fear, I might add. Kos said something along the lines of (in reaction the the Tancredo insult): “I didn’t get depressed and dodge the draft…”
Tancredo got PISSED, demanded an apology and said something about how he “won’t be insulted” and demanded an apology. Kos said “NO” and Tancredo removed his earpeiece and left. The cameras switched from split screen to just a shot of Markos, he finished strong, Shuster thanks him, and FIN.
I only caught the last few seconds of Tancredo’s little flameout, so I didn’t know much about it and thought I’d be hearing it secondhand. But lo and behold, the power of the Intertubes comes through again: Just how much of a WATB do you have to be to throw that kind of tantrum and storm off?
Panic! because these kind of whiners are given more airtime and credibility than people whose opinions actually matter.
