(Set to Mellalica's Ride the Lightning) From the Hufflington Post: An Illinois lawmaker screamed profanities and referenced the Bible during a videotaped tirade directed at the state's powerful House speaker. And it's creating a stir online. Republican Rep. Mike Bost said Thursday he's been surprised by the mostly positive reaction he's received. He says his frustration has been building for years. Bost's outburst came as House members were preparing to vote Tuesday on a contentious plan to overhaul Illinois' pension system without a chance for debate or amendment. Bost says that's standard procedure in the Democrat-controlled House, but it shouldn't be. In reference to House Speaker Michael Madigan, Bost yelled: "You should be ashamed!" Madigan chalked up the outburst to late-session frustration. Bost voted in 1995 for the rule now used to prevent debate. He says that was a mistake.
