Good for Rep McGovern. Anybody who is not comfortable with plain talk like this needs to get out of the way. If they have committee ranking status, they should resign their committees and leave it for those with some backbone.

New rule, if you don't have at least half the backbone, courage, and fighting spirit of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, you should leave Congress today and let us elect somebody who WILL do the job. If we had strong advocates in Congress all along, we would not be in this position today.
